Currently using wonder under lite on a raw edge applique. Its already letting go and I havent even finished putting the blanket stitch around all the pieces. My concern is how is this going to hold up. This is the first raw edge that I've done and the second applique that I've done. Should I dry clean only?

I prefer Steam n' Seam 2.

Try reattaching with the iron

If you use a wet pressing cloth and steam it on wool it's more permanent.

Read the manufacture's instructions, you might have over heated it and that's why it's not sticking. Aimee |

I think this falls under the topic "lessoned learned the hard way"

You might just have some old Wonder Under. The adhesive has a shelf life. You also may have misread the directions. :oops:
I use 805 all the time and have never had it lift off even a little bit with no edge stitching at all. I used to use Steam-a-Seam2 Lite and got tired of not being able to hand stitch through it and having my machine needles get all gummy. I like Wonder Under much better than any other fusible available. |
