THE REST OF THE STORY.....WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR STEAM A SEAM???

If you have been with me since the beginning of my blog, you would have known that I used Steam a Seam like I used toilet paper, or better yet like I eat chocolate!!

You probably noticed that it disappeared out of JoAnns!  We were all going...

                                       WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR STEAM A SEAM!!!  

Just click on the sentence above in caps and it will take you to the story of what happened.  It was interesting to know but a lot of us have moved on.

I have switched to HEAT N BOND, I use the Heat N Bond lite and I love love love it.

1.   What is more important to me since I live in a small town, Walmart carries it.
2.   Also it is at an affordable price for those of us counting our pennies.
3.  It comes in a roll.  Yes, you can get Steam a Seam in a roll but at a cost and I believe you have to order it       in a roll if I am not mistaken.
4.  I also like the idea that it has a stronger paper backing than Steam a Seam, just makes it easier and it             doesn't fall off the backing like Steam a Seam does at times.

Do I dislike Steam as Seam now?  No, not at all, it is just I have moved on.  Will I use Steam a Seam, if you give me some I will but I am happy with my Heat N Bond

A New Runner - - -JUST IN TIME FOR THE 4TH!!!! FABRIC FUSIBLES CONTINUED

I went back to JoAnn's and purchased a lighter Heat n' Bond and then I saw this Pellon Wonder Under

I have to confess that I do like having fusible on a roll.

  I know that Steam A Seam has it on a roll  but I have had to order it. Having it on the roll makes for larger projects. Heat N Bond also has it on a roll at Walmart.

I used the Wonder Under on the Red streamers.....
1. easy application
2. didn't need steam
3. no gumming on the needle

I used the Heat N Bond on the hat and stars.
1. Easy application
2. didn't need steam
3. no gumming of needle

I did find that the Heat N Bond was a little heavier than the Wonder Under.

I actually liked using both products.

  Haven't decided which one I like better, that will come with more use.

  I did not have any issues with getting the paper to come off the back so that was nice.

 

Yes, I am probably a little late with this runner but I sure love it, you can find the pattern here:

 

 

I did order some Misty Fuse from Kelly at I Have a Notion and so look forward to trying this one out.

 

It is so nice to have so many options.  At one time I would panic if I did not have Steam A Seam but those days are gone.

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

I HAVE BEEN AWFULLY QUIET IN THIS CORNER OF THE WORLD……..BECAUSE

 

I have been busy with  this fabric.

My Accuquilt Go Cutter has been smok’in…..  I keep waiting for it to go on strike!

I should be doing this…..but nope!

instead I have been using a lot of this!

 

To make this…..oh…sorry, I cleaned my room last night and it is folded neatly away.

 

Working with these (scraps)

 

and working on this…yep…folded up again as well.  I like my room to be semi decent on Sundays….

The Bejeweled sweat shop is closed today!

 

but I have to tell you!!!!!!  Another one bites the dust!

As of today, I sucked another innocent party into the sewing and fabric world.

 

All I have to say to her husband is to hang on to his wallet...HA!!!!

Cute Cute (young) gal at church wants to learn to quilt.  While visiting her last month I suggest that she learn to quilt.  Her husband is away during the week and she needs something to fill in the gap.  Here was my chance....

I jumped on this like a piece of thread to my nice outfit!

We plan to go fabric shopping this week.  Did I tell you she is cute?  She has an adorable little son.

All I have to say to that is "CHARGE IT!"
