MISTYFUSE - WHAT IS IT AND HOW DO I USE IT?

Mistyfuse is a product developed by Esterita Austin, a respected quilt artist.  This ultra thin fusible webbing is perfect for layering fabrics without adding bulk.  Mistyfuse is an environmentally friendly fusible that is solvent-free and recyclable.  This new fusible works well with a variety of fabrics from velvets and cottons to delicate tulles and organzas.  If you use multi-textured fabrics in your art quilts, this product should work well for you.

Mistyfuse is available in white, black or UV protection, by 5 and 10 yard cuts.  It has no extra adhesive to gum up your needles or scissors (I know that has been a problem for me with other products!).  The fusible is made of 100% thermoplastic adhesive polymer resin and can be used with all types of fabric.

This product is easy to use.  Simply layer your freezer paper template, fabric and fuse.  Place the layers between sheets of parchment or Teflon.  With a medium hot iron, lightly fuse the 3 layers together.  Use just enough heat and time to allow layers to fuse.  Allow to cool.  Remove from parchment, trim following your template edge and peel template off.  You will then pin or place the trimmed piece into position on your quilt-top.  Cover it with parchment or Teflon to protect your iron from any excess fuse.  Use a hot iron and firm pressure to permanently fuse the piece down.  Excess fusible is removeable from your iron using your favorite method. 

If you are interested in trying this product for yourself, you'll find it at Alice in Stitches, as well as many fusible art quilting patterns to put Mistyfuse to good use.
