I have made many applique quilts and I always use Wonder Under 805. It is easy and uncomplicated. Try it you'll like it!!! I buy it at WalMart and it is cheap, $.85 a yard. I have a light box and the tracing is simple. Hope this works for you it does for me..........

fusible can get old in the stores too.

I see your updates that you did to no avail. Sorry. I once had some (don't the the brand) and realized I was trying to iron the wrong side to the fabric. I don't know why it didn't melt to my iron. |
Thank you everyone for your good advice. I think I might try the wonder under. I'm sure my fusible is at least 2 -3 years old. I never had trouble with it when I first used it. but then again I never used starch. I really like using the starch to stiffen my fabric, it's like finding a new best friend.

Wonder Under is pretty soft but I use HeatNBond also.

It could be the web itself - I really like soft fuse it is really light

I think it just may have been too old. I use Wonder Under and Heat N Bond Lite or Med and really can't tell any difference. I don't like the Steam a Seam because it seems to complicated for my brain.

What is Wonder Under 805? Please? I have used both the Steam a Seam Lite and Heat & Bond lite......both still seem a little stiff. I have also used Wonder Under with disasterous results.....but it was "regular" off the bolt from Joann's. Is 805 different and why? Thank You........ |
Flip it over, you probably have the paper side down instead of the fusible side. Ask me how I know! GG
