well hopefully the 2nd one won't be as bad then! Cause I really want those colors too!

I have made a few bow tuck and had a hard time too! I just hold the iron down longer and then it sticks. Good luck!

I use a very hot iron, steam and iron on the fabric side not the fleece side

Sorry you are having a tough time with your bag. I've made one, didn't wash the fabric either, mine stuck just fine, but I use a old sunbeam iron with no steam holes. I am getting ready to start on a mini now. And I hope you have better luck with your second bag. Also getting a pattern for the two hour tulip bag, but I think it's going to take more than two hours.

I use the Pellon Fusible Fleece 987F and haven't had any problems. Prewash your fabric, iron with the fusible side up - fabric on top, hot iron, and steam.
I also made one with regular cotton quilt batting and spray on adhesive. That worked fine as well. |

I use 505 temporary spray baste, I did not use the iron on as it is very expensive in this area.

I also had trouble with it in the past but now I set the iron on wool & really steam it, let it cool turn it over & stem some more. That is the only way I could get it to adhere. Good luck with it
