I am getting better at just cutting into it; however, I got one sitting on the table now that has me stimmied. Well, see what happens to it. I wish I had, had the good sense to have purchased enough for a quilt back, but of course, I didn't.

Several years ago, I went to Paris and bought many yards of French fabrics and had them shipped home.

Several MONTHS later, I got a telephone call from U.S, Customs asking me what I planned to do with them, and specifically if I was planning to resell them. When I replied that no, I was just a quilter who planned to use them in quilts, they were satisfied.

Apparently, we quilters have quite the reputation for being voracious fabric buyers!

I received my samples from http://www.allstitch.com which is a nice local store in Baltimore, MD. They sent me 9 8x8" samples of the TW2.0 which is a bit heavier than Stable Stuff, but looks and feels the same. This is the heavier weight of their RipStitch Soft Tear/Wash Away Stabilizer. The other one is 1.5, although I don't have a clue on what the number means.

Anyway, if you would like a sample, send me an email with your address. I'm not using this style of applique in the Two of Us.

For some reasons they think that Hancocks of Paducah are sending me bags of drugs or something because their packages are always opened. Perhaps ther is a quilter in customs and he/she wants to have a look at your fabrics
