Which fusible should I use?
#1
I'm hand embroidering kitchen towel sets for family and friends for Christmas gift giving. I want to put something on the backside of the towels to hide and re-enforce the stitching (just in the area where I've stitched the design). I fused a piece of Pellon lightweight interfacing on a few of the towels, washed them and all of the interfacing fell off in the washer. I don't want to stitch anything on the backsides...what can you suggest for me? Any helps are appreciated!

there are permenent bond adhesives you can use...like liquid stitch you could use heat & bond to adhere a fabric patch then go along the edges with liquid stitch to make sure the edges do not (lift) when washed.

I saw a trunk show, cant remember her name, she hust use another piece of a muslin on the back when she embroderidered. I havent tried it, yet.so dont know how it would work but it did give stability to what she was working on.
