Nothing worse than quilting over multiple layers of fusible. I try to use freezer paper as much as I can but fusible does help prevent fraying edges. With bigger pieces I try to cut out the inside of the template before ironing so just the pencil lines are left. That helps some.quiltedfabricarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00036237963134480179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507398062654805736.post-35927961649087531902016-07-22T10:50:44.293-06:002016-07-22T10:50:44.293-06:00Very very time consuming, I know.

It has made me enjoy appliqué once more and NO nada zilch gummed up needle! No fraying edges either.

They have very sharp points (sharper than even the quilting needles) and I've found them to be very useful. They are fairly common and inexpensive and work great. They also come in many sizes. I get them at the J store with a coupon. Just a suggestion!Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08195401144486416881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507398062654805736.post-66079976498536723092016-07-18T11:00:39.745-06:002016-07-18T11:00:39.745-06:00Wow, Mardi.
