I will use the Steam a seam I have left...... about 4 yards which may be enough if I am careful, and then use the Bondaweb I may even resort to glueing the applique down.

Anne, another quilter friend of mine on Facebook recommended this product. I ordered some and will report on it when it arrives, but I see they have international shipping at a reasonable rate. I'll let you know what I think of it. Has anyone else used this?

rosamondac OFFLINE Posts: 37	I have to say again that if you haven't tried Soft Fuse, you really, really should!! In my opinion, it is like the old Steam-a-Seam 2 Lite, but better!! It's not at all sticky like the new Steam a seam. Rosamond

Thanks Pam,
I found the video interesting, I haven't tried EZ-steam I don't even know if we can buy it in the UK.
I managed to get the last 2 yards of lite steam-a-seam2 from Creative Grids....UK so I will be very frugal with it. I'm hoping to do the 2014 BOM.
I also have some Bondaweb which I don't really like but will use in an emergency.
Hope it's a bit warmer in your neck of the woods than here.
Have a nice weekend
Happy quilting

Here's my 2 cents worth...The old Steam a Seam products did have a shelf life but with care did ok for me.
Newer Steam a Seam, for me, has been too sticky even when following instr.s..Didn't like it !! Pellon = thumbs down !

Never have used Soft Fuse, but will try some soon. Didn't ever like Heat n Bond...but my LQS sells HnB Lite for
wool applique...and it does the job on wool ! A little stiff on other fabrics. I read some where...maybe here

...
about a new product from Heat n Bond....HeatnBond Feather Lite . LQS gave me a sample they got at Market
and I have had great results with it. Big Bernie...normally fussy...has handled it ok...and it is supple and so far
stayed put ! Of course...none have that 2 sided quality of SS2.

But I will try new things as they come along.
