I've tried wiping the needle down with rubbing alcohol but I can't do that every few inches!! Well, I could but I don't want to. That's like every 2-3 minutes of sewing.
Do any of you have any suggestions?? I know now why I applique and not stitch with this stuff.... Argh!!
You can put 1/2 a drop of sewers aid on your finger and wipe the needle with your finger. This will keep the goop from sticking to your needle. Let me know if this helps. I used to use the fuseables all the time and this worked for me.
