Best Double-Sided Fusible Interfacing
Hi - Would you all tell me what light-weight double-sided fusible interfacing you use? I'm working on a guitar quilt that is appliqued. I've made it before, but it's been years and I forgot what I used.
Thanks so much! LaDonna |
Soft Fuse is my favorite!

I like Misty Fuse, you can't even tell it's in the quilt.

I really like Misty fuse also. But I usually use Steam a Seam 2. They only reason is I can purchase it locally and it seems like when I need it, I need it now. An impatient quilter.

I bought a bolt of Misty Fuse years ago when it first came out and no one really knew what it was. The shop clearanced it out because it wasn't selling. I'm still using from it. I think the shops didn't know exactly what it was for then. I haven't see it on a bolt since. I paid about the same cost as one package of it now for the whole bolt.

For most applique I like Steam a Seam because of the sticky back.
|
I use Heat and Bond ultra light. Have never heard of Misty fuse but will be checking it out. Can this be purchased off the bolt or is it just in packages?
|
I’ve been using Heat n Bond lite for years, it tends to be my go-to fusible. It’s not an interfacing though. It’s a fusible for appliqué- interfacing lines/ adds stability to a project- like the heavy interfacing in collars/ cuffs, or the lightweight stabilizer used to make T-shirt quilts to keep them from stretching.
|
So I just looked up Misty Fuse. There's no paper, so do you draw your design directly onto it? Can you fuse it to one piece at a time? It's not making sense to me for applique.

I use parchment with Misty Fuse.
|
I use Steam a SeamLite 2.
You can draw on it and then cut out, take the backing off and stick it down temporarily. You are able to move it around until you get it just right and then iron it down. It's also good to sew through (IME) for quilting. Another thing I like is that I can have my background hanging on my design wall and stick the SaSL2 applique directly to it and it will stay there for me to step back and look at it. Watson |

That's true! I used it to help baste the last few quilts I've finished and thought it was amazing stuff for that. I haven't tried it for applique, but I truly can't feel anywhere on my quilts where the Misty Fuse is - even the places I know it is, I can't find it. Wonderful stuff!

Can you please clarify how you use the Misty Fuse to baste your quilt?' Thanks...

You can also use it with needleturn - apply just a little bit of it to the back of each piece and fuse the pieces to the background fabric as you would use glue or needle basting. |
Misty fuse is my choice for double sided fusible. Does the job every time.
