I think you mean Misty Fuse? You can add paper to Misty Fuse. Iron it between two sheets of parchment paper, then peel off one of the sheets. Voila!

Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser takes fusible gunk off irons. Ask me how I know. :eek:

Happy blanketing!

(I put this picture on another post, but don't know how to do a link - sorry!)

Can't believe you chose such an enormous project for your second ever applique project! (It's amazing!)

I do believe that the QB is full of over-achievers!

Thanks for the hint. I just did some applique tonight and switched to a blanket stitch! Thanks for the advice.

I loved every minute of it! I find the whole process extremely relaxing. I can't wait to start my next one. Points however are a different story.......

Oh ain't that the truth!

I do needle turn applique, and find it tremendously relaxing...and I wrestle with points every time!

I was going to say that you use parchment paper with Mystyfuse because it doesn't come with paper. You have to put paper on one side. I read the directions online about it because I was confused when it arrived and saw that it was just fusible material. I knew I couldn't use it like that. I like the Steam a Seam Lite 2 best anyway, too.

I love using the blanket stitch for machine appliqué. On the quilt I am starting this month, I will match the thread with the fabric. I know this will take a long time; but I think the effort will be worth it on this particular quilt.

I like to do mine using all black. I don't change the stitch length or width for each piece. I just choose one that I think looks good with whatever I'm working on and go for it. Isn't it fun getting what you want to do for your own creative processes?
