I'm having one of those brain freezes, I forget what you call that paper you use to stick material down with. Lord this is awful. I just wanted a good one that dosen't make everything stiff when you use it. Plus the name of the stuff you can get at the drugstore for memory, everytime I remember the name of it, I forget to stop and get it. I'm getting bad.

1) double sized fusing. there are a few different brands and weights. Wonder Under is popular; Stich Witchery is also good. the ones that don't make things stiff usually have to be secured with stitching afterward so they don't come off in the wash.

2) Ginko Biloba ... if i remember correctly ... and i may not. LOL

Are you talking about "Heat n Bond" iron-on adhesive fusible web. I use this stuff alot and use the lite so it doesn't feel stiff.

Tricia

Steam-a-seam Lite

that's 4 brands so far. ain't progress a wunnerful thing?

Thank-you everyone for your help. I printed all of them so I can take the list with me when I go to get them. Thanks again.

The one that I have been using lately is called lite fuse. It has no paper backing so you would need a teflon pressing sheet with it. It will hold things in palce fairly well, but may want to still stitch it down for good measure.

PS Meant to tell you that i got it at the quilt shop. It comes about 1/2 yd to a pkg. for 2 or 3 bucks.

:) Whatever brand you use--if you trace your object you want to fuse down, then cut it out on the inside lines of what you have traced, using only 1/4 to 1/2 inch of the fusable on the fabric, it will not be stiff!!! Read this but also learned the hard way!!!! Hope you understand this!!!

If you still have a Wal-Mart in your area, or at least the Fabric Dept., they have the heat and bond in a 27 inch wide roll, and is 5 yards long .which was $5. for the roll last summer.

Save those pennies and dollars....to buy more quilt fabrics.

the memory trouble you have may be related to low blood homocysteine, your doctor can test for this, if that is the problem it is a form of pernicious anemia remedied by oral B12, B6 and folic acid, in a specific higher than multivitamin dose. Your pharmacist can show you the right dose of the 3 supplements to try, and they will not be harmful so to save the cost of the lab test just try it for 6 weeks or so and see if it helps and yes, ginko biloba also is good to help if it is not the pernicious anemia induced short term memory loss syndrome :)
