Hi sfavro, I can't comment on Misty Fuse or Terial Magic as I haven't used either of those products. I would recommend Ricky Tims Stable stuff for you to use as stabiliser, which I use for all my machine applique. I use the packs of 50 sheets 8 1/2" x 11" as this seems to be the only size I can buy is the UK, it is however a size that is very economical and easy to work with.
Best Wishes Pam in Scotland

Thanks, Janet. I also heard from Lilo Bowman (via e-mail) and here's what she told me:
Steam A Seam 2 Lite
For one quilt, you need
    12-3/4 yards of the 12" width. Or
    8-1/2 yards of the 18" width. Or
    6-1/2 yards of the 24" width.[/list:u]

    Janet Stone uses stabilizer under all her appliqué as well. She recommends Ricky Tims Stable Stuff, which he sells in 28" x 3-yard rolls. They can probably get away with 2 rolls if they save their scraps and use them.
    [/list:u]
    I'm thinking I'll use Misty Fuse for the fusible and try out Terial Magic in place of regular stabilizers. Anyone else have feedback on those products? :?:

Hmmm...that's a good question! And, I'm not sure! :? I tend to buy lots of it, because I use it a lot, so I didn't even think to keep track. If I were to guess, and don't hold me to this if you run out, :) I would say about 24 of the 9 x 12 sheets. The Steam a Seam can be spliced together easily, so you can make use of all your scraps.
Back to Quilting!

What's the total amount of fusible that will be needed for the project?
