    Looks like the fusible technique is working great for you! She's gorgeous! Can you tell me what the background fabric is on your fusing video? The blue/yellow/white one that looks like a sky. I love it!

  9. Very Good Job!! I cant wait to see what kind of quilting you put on it!! Happily Quilting Natalie Carlton

  11. Leah, when I am placing fussy bits of fused fabrics, I use a pair of forceps to help control where they get positioned. I have lots of them from suture removal kits as I am a nurse practitioner.

  12. Wow! that is awesome. Two questions… with the fusible applique, do you ever get fuzzy edges on the little pieces?

    also, when I have used Wonder Under, I found it gummed up my needle a lot. So I switched to Heat'n Bond. Have you had any problems with WU?

    Just became a fan on Facebook.

    Thanks so much for sharing.
