Have had no problems with it not holding together when done as the directions say Once it is in the quilted, there should be no problem

The fusible tape smells funny but I use it all the time. I think if the quilting is thorough, you don't have to worry about it coming unglued eventually. Unless, of course, you don't quilt closely. I can't imagine making strips of fusible interfacing instead of the tape - too much work! Different strokes for different folks...

With a rotary cutter and ruler it takes just minutes to cut and saves a whole bunch of money. You pay for the convenience of having it already cut

i use a fringe foot and sew them togeather. the ridge on the fringe foot keeps the ziz-zag from pulling tight and forming a ridge on the batting pieces.
