Default Have you tried Terial Magic

Have you tried Terial Magic, the spray on stabilizer? It sounds too good to be true. Please share any experience, good or bad. Thanks.

I've used it a couple of times trying to get stiff enough to run through Silhouette Cameo without stabilizer. I don't think I've done it correctly for that though.

I would imagine it would help, depending on what you want to use it for. I used a similar product, Palmer/Pletsch Perfect Sew, many years ago to do a decorative stitched hem on some nylon tricot. I was very pleased with the product, but it was quite stiff when it dried. It washed out nicely and no puckers.

I have used it for cutting appliqué with a silhouette cutter. It really does make the fabric as stiff as a board if you saturate the fabric, let it dry, then press it. It will make a mess of your iron if you press it wet. I look at it as a specialty product, not needed for most quilting, but handy when you need some fancy decorative stitching.

I use it instead of starch or sprays most times. It only takes a little. I use a teflon pressing sheet so no build up on the iron. I bought a gallon of it about two years ago and still using from it. For crafters they saturate the fabric to get ridgid results. I spray a light spay and then press as usual. My piecing is much better with stiff fabric.

I've used it in place of a stabilizer for simple applique and thought it worked pretty good.

It might work for T shirt quilts, but I'm still going to use a fabric layer for the hankie quilt I'm planning. Good to know about a new product, though!

I have used it to make fabric cards and did a hands on demo at the local guild. They were fun.
