I haven't used SAS in a few years...usually buy something else. Does anyone else have the issue of it gunking up on the needle? What a mess that I have to pull off. Is this somthing with SAS in particular? Thank you.

I put alcohol on a cotton ball, wipe my needle, wait for it to evaporate, resume stitching. But I haven't used SAS in a very long time......calla

Thanks for the tip. I'll try it right now.

I have yet to find a fusible I like as well as Wonderunder. My choices are limited now that Walmart fabric department doesn't carry yardage. I tried another fusible from Fabricland (kind of like Joanne's here in Canada) but it didn't stick my applique very well.

Tartan: that's what I normally use and haven't had any trouble. I have some at home but decided to try something else. I guess SAS isn't it! Thanks.

I used it a long time ago. Now, I use Wonder Under. It's GREAT!

Steam a Seam 2 is not for sewing. Steam a Seam 2 Lite is for sewing.

Yep. found that out long ago with another fusible. if you must stitch it, keep the cotton ball handy and keep stopping and cleaning the needle. get through that project and mark any of that fusible left that it isn't for sewing through. so no mistakes next time. Good luck.

I have made many quilts using Steam A Seam 2 for applique, including the one in my Avatar. I have not bought any recently, so don't know if product quality has changed. I never had a problem with it.
