You can use the same technique with fusible interfacing, but if that makes it too thick you can also use the sheets of fusible bond.
Bond one side to the underside of your fabric. Trace your pattern pieces on the back side (remember to reverse them) then cut them out. Peel the paper off, trim the paper piece back about 1/4", center it back on the fabric piece and iron the edge back over the paper. Then when you are ready to fuse to the base fabric, just pull the paper back out and iron in place. --- Julie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've used Wonder Under when I was planning a machine > satin stitch over the applique.
