This is what I had fun doing last week. I've been reading Melody's blog for about a month now and been SO inspired. This is not typical of my work at all, but I had fun trying out the fusing and enjoyed how quickly it all came together - I began one evening, worked on it the following evening and finished it the next morning, hanging sleeve and all!
But the fuse does not hold it without stitching. I quilted over this, quite densely, but I can see it will fray over time - and the whole point is the very clean lines. I'm working on a pebbles piece and will probably stitch around every pebble to hold them down. Since the fuse doesn't even come with a brand name - it's just sold as 'applique paper', I will have to make do until I can buy (and afford to buy!) the American stuff.
