Favorite Applique Product?
 
What is your favorite applique product? I am just starting to applique and have been using handler since that is what the LQ shop was selling. What do you all like the best?

I have become an applique addict. I am always looking for something to applique. I love Pellon 805, it is lightweight and makes appliqueing so much easier.

What is handler? What kind of applique do you do? I'm a wana be - I've tried needle turn, haven't tried machine applique, have done machine embroidery applique. I've got some beautiful kits and patterns to do - just need to take the plunge.

I, too, am adicted to Pellon 805 (aka Wonder Under). I do a lot of raw edge fusible appliqué and have never found anything better for the type of work I do. I buy it by the bolt from JoAnn's online, but I've heard they no longer sell it in most of the stores except in precut packages.

I had no idea this was wonder under. So glad you said that as I have rolls of it...lol. Going to grab it now! This board is great.

I do alot of fusible applique also, the only thing I use is Steam a Seam II. I like it because I can move it around on my back ground for placement and it stays there, also its very easy to needle. I use the buttonhole st. and do it by hand.

I always used Steam a Seam two, but have recently used the wonder under and like it better. It does not seem as stiff. Just my thought. Never tried needle turn.

I do machine applique and use Sharon Schambers's applique stabilizer.
