I have some Liquid Stitch I used on another project. Would it work the same? Once the glue drys and you cut your design, can you fuse the edges with the glue to another piece of fabric, and do you stitch around edge still, or does it fuse and no stitching needed? If stitched, are the edges stiff? AND is it washable afterwards? Does it hold better that fusible web? Is there a link to the episode mentioned? I am very excited to learn more about this method.

I just took a class from Karen Kay Buckley and she used sizing. Great teacher who does award winning work. Check out her web site.

I learned from a master appliqueist --Pat Campbell--who taught needle-turn applique in her Jacobean books. I highly recommend her technique because you handle the fabric only once and that is to lay it on the surface of the quilt top and applique it. I have never had anything come loose.

There is also a ModPodge for fabric that I've seen used like this. I bought some but haven't used it yet, so I don't know how it is sewing through it.

My LQS friend just showed me something new out this is a fusible powder--you sprinkle on the fusible "dust" and then press the two pieces of fabric together. She was experimenting with it--I thought she had popcorn seasoning setting near her iron!
