t-shirt quilts, cross stitching on sweatshirts or applique- there are a bunch of uses for this stuff- great buy!

I have used it to attach emblems on clothing, cutting it in strips to use up strips of batting, applying a lining to the backs of embroidered bookmarks and to apply appliques to a background fabric.
A thin strip helps hold a hem in place too so you don't need to pin before hand or machine stitching it in place. Fusible interfacing is a handy thing and has many uses where you need stability without the use of pins.

You can use light weight fusible interfacing for applique, Eleanor Burns has a technique she teaches in her shows.

You cut out your applique shape out of the fabric and fusible.
Put the right side of fabric facing the fusible side of the interfacing.
Stitch around the whole outer perimeter of the piece.
Make a small clip in the center of the interfacing, turn the piece right side out.
Smooth and shape the applique piece so it lays nicely.
Iron the applique piece onto the block, border or quilt top.
Hand or machine sew the applique pieces in place :D:D:D[/quote]

Thank you, I was thinking along those lines (and going to try) - and possibly some really finer material (using small pieces) to maybe give them a little oomph?? I was going to try a few pieces on a test block to see what happened but I was also thinking of using it to maybe draw your pattern or shape on and then affix it to the material and go from there.

Is fusible interfacing fusible on both sides or just one side?

How do you use fusible interfacing for attaching labels? I can see using it to stabilize them but the actual attaching?

It's only fusible on one side. At least every kind I've ever seen was. The kind of stuff I've seen and bought that is fusible on both sides is called fusible web.

Fusible interfacing is correct, you do the Elanor Burns method, where you sew it and turn it and you have a finished edge applique, then you iron it on and it affixes it to the material and you can either machine applique, or hand applique. Works great.

I'm so glad you asked this question. Every time someone asks a question, I learn something new. :-)
