Misty Fuse has no added adhesive so it won't be a permanent hold for applique.

I fuse it to the back of the fabric. Cut as usual. We might be talking about a different Misty Fuse product. There are or use to be several different types. I bought this bolt some years ago when a show winner told me she fused it to her quilt top before layering. It is a stabilizer.

We haven't experienced Mistyfuse drying out, but I love your tip about keeping every scrap in a bag! Like you said it is all usable! Overlapping leaves no ridges. Thank you for sharing that!

A quick note back to the original question—Mistyfuse and wool. They're a wonderful matchup and it's been very popular with wool vendors and in wool appliqué. Your needle won't even feel it in there. Mistyfuse is blown into a web so that it is like long, fine fingers. That's how we achieve such a strong bond and stay so flexible. It will reach into and grab onto fibers. The result is a bond that is very strong yet totally flexible and soft and never, never sticky. Mistyfuse has a low temperature melting point but do be sure to give it the time to develop the bond. Don't worry about over ironing—Mistyfuse can take the heat and the time, it's hard to iron it away.

Love that Mistyfuse comes in black, too! Great for those darker fabrics. I was made aware of the product some years ago at A Quilter's Gathering show (New Hampshire show) by Esterita Austin. She used it for her gorgeous landscape quilts.
