I bought a bolt of pellon val-u-fuse last year and have never used it...I am now wondering how to use it. I am assuming it is for applique. I have tried googling it...so far no luck. pellon val-u-fuse its 100 percent polyester - has anyone used this? I bought it at Joann's

Is there some sort of plastic separator wrapped in the bolt between the layers?
My fusible stuff has that and there are directions on the plastic.

Hmmm...that is odd.
Is it fusable interfacing or the double sided sticky stuff for applique? Does it have a paper side to it?

there is no paper. one side seems a little ruffer than tha other side.

I think you have fusible interfacing. Only one side will stick to the fabric when you iron it on. It's used mostly in making clothes-collars, waist bands, areas that need a little extra stiffness.

There is a method to use it for applique-Sun Bonnet Sue Quilt in a Day book has detailed instructions.

Pelion has a website with instruction how to use their products.

I found the book, I did not know you could sew the fusing on and them turn in inside out than iron it on....no raw edges, AWESOME!
