I've never heard of it. Is it a fusing agent or a stabilizer?

Here's a site with some info about misty fuse and how to use it. I saw it at a quilt show last year and then forgot about it until recently.

It's used in place of things like Steam a Seam, WunderUnder, etc.

Missmommy - My favorite way to applique is using the blanket stitch on my sewing machine. I "window" my fusible so I have about 1/4" just around the raw edge of the applique. I've always favored Heat n' Bond Lite. A few months ago I did some tests. MistyFuse was one of several I tried. I found it more difficult to work with and my edges didn't stay as secure. They frayed ever so slightly when I blanket stitched around them. After completing my trials, I decided I still like the lite Heat n' Bond the best. Of course, I only tested my particular method, and I know others just love some of the products I don't care for at all. I hope others reply so we can learn what they've found. QBee

QueenBee - Just heard from a friend who tried the MistyFuse who also said it was hard to work with. Scratch that off my list.
