Still new at this, but my question is.............if the webbing says no sew, can I sew around it anyway (by hand)? Thought I got the right stuff and the store is just to far away and I don't want to waste it.

I googled and read a few post on line of people who said they always sew non fusible web. You might want to do a small sample to see how well the needle goes through.

Most no sew fusible webs will gum up your needle, some are so stiff and hard it can break your needle.
TEST first on scraps.

the no-sew fusable is very stiff and very very difficult to stitch through by hand. i made the error once, bad deal :thumbdown: i did stitch it down with the machine, it gums up the needle, i kept a small cloth saturated in machine oil to use to clean the needle every time i noticed the build up. it worked out ok but the stuff never softens up/stays stiff even after multiple washings. you would be happier to use it in a wall hanging or something that will not be handled alot so does not have to be sewn down.

I wouldn't use it for any sewing project... too much hassle JMHO

I used it in my first T shirt quilt. What a pain. I call that one the quilt from H*** :lol:

I agree Amma! After putting in so much work on a project you want it to turn out without any problems. :)

My experience is nope .
