Any suggestions? I'm using the Pellon like the pattern recommended....tired of it not sticking like I think it should though.

I bought two packs at JoAnns (50% off) but haven't gotten around to using it. After reading the posts, I may never use it. May try it on a potholder or small item, see how it works or if it worth the trouble.

I have made several bow tucks and use the 971 FF. I have had NO trouble with it. I use the steam on my iron a bit and you do have to go back once in awhile, but it works just fine for me. I had that trouble with the 987. The 971 was cheaper in price and it is a bit thicker. I LIKE IT......

With the Pellon 987F it's pretty important that you follow the usage instructions exactly. Here's the instructions, directly off the packaging, for those who may not have gotten the manufacturers instructions where they bought the product:
Step 1: Cut fusible Fleece to the desired size.
Step 2: Place Fleece, fusible side up, on ironing board. Place fabric, right side up.on top of fleece.
Step 3: Fuse
For a Light Bond -- With iron at Wool/Steam setting, iron fabric in place. For most applications, this should hold the fleece for easy handling while the project is stitched and/or glued.
For an Extra-Strong Bond -- Cover fleece and fabric with a damp press cloth. With the iron at Woo/steam setting, press for 10-15 seconds. Repeat, overlapping iron until entire area is fused. For additional loft, use more than one layer of fleece.
Hope this helps...
