Review   Bright Hopes Quilting - January 29, 2010
"The idea is you can run these sheets through your ink jet printer, or draw directly on it, iron the shiny side to the back of your fabric, cut leaving a 1/4" seam allowance and sew to the background, using the sheet as the edge to needle-turn against. Then, it washes away with warm water. And here is a neat feature! It's so soft that you can just LEAVE it in the quilt and it will soften in time! Now I like Steam A Seam; it's great for machine applique but it does leave a stiff layer in the quilt. It has it's place in sewing, to be sure. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Well. Does it work?" YES! It washes right out in warm water! I let the block soak for less than a minute and could feel it disappear. !!!!!!!!!! THIS IS IMPORTANT !!!!!!!!! If you do use an ink jet printer to make your templates, any ink will transfer to the fabric in the water bath! This happened to me and I was able to wash THAT out with detergent. I would advise you to white out any labels, marks, unnecessary lines you have on pre-printed patterns prior to copying and printing them on that applique sheet. It will save you from a panic attack like I just had. You really don't want one of those!"
