Claudia, you don't really have to use a fusible interfacing. In fact, I'm
not really sure that the chemicals in fusibles are ever a 'best choice'.
You can simply use the same fabric you're using for each piece as a
backing. Turn them (gently) and instead of using the fusible to hold them
steady, apply the tiniest bit of plain old Elmer's school glue or a glue
stick if you're authorized to have one. Pin point size dots will get it,
you don't have to load it with big globs. Congratulations on all you're
doing as a Jill of all trades. I don't think I could change a battery,
don't even think I could lift one . . . but I do know how to bake bribes
and create a killer banana pudding. Do what you've go to do. Polly

Get the lightest weight non-woven fusible interfacing you can find.
Pellon is a good brand; they make a variety of weights -- get the really
light stuff. You should be able to get it at JoAnn's or Hancocks or Craft
World or anywhere you buy fabric, though it may not be available at the
LQS, since it's generally used more for garment sewing.

Hello everyone

Me again with another question.

First though, just to update; DH underwent surgery for his cervical
vertebrae last Wednesday and has been home since Saturday. Thankfully,
he is doing well. Has to take things very easy, basically is not
allowed to do ANYTHING, so I am fast learning to do a whole lot of
things I never thought (or wanted) to do; changed a car battery last
night, mowed the lawn (what little bit we have), fixed a leaking
faucet. And we've only been back from hospital 48 hours!!!! By the end
of his mandatory 1 month rest period I will be a Jill of all
trades!!!!

Anyway, since I do manage to find time to take a look in my sewing
room every now and then, I need to make a Sunbonnet Sue block for a
friend. According to the instructions in Eleanor Burns' book, these
are easily done using fusible interfacing, sewing the pieces and then
turning then inside out.

So, what is the best lightweight fusible interfacing? And which is the
best online store to get it? My local sewing shop only carries a
fabric interfacing and that does not work (I've tried; it simply falls
apart.).

Any thoughts?

Claudia
