Fusible Webbing
Fusible webs are glue or plastic based see through materials that are either encased in paper like the double sticks, or have paper on one side only. They are used to bond the applique pattern pieces to the background fabric. Fusibles can be purchased by the yard, in one-yard packages or in rolls. Some can be sewn - others cannot.
To use trace the applique pattern pieces to one side of the paper backing. Cut the pattern pieces apart and fuse them to the wrong side of your chosen applique fabric. Cut them out. Peel off the paper backing and fuse the pieces to the background fabric following the manufacturer’s directions.
