Fuse’N Stick is a unique double-sided adhesive stabilizer that is ideal for appliqué. One side of Fuse’N Stick has a low-melt adhesive that is activated by using a medium setting on a hand iron. The other side of Fuse’N Stick contains a sticky adhesive protected by a paper backing. To use, simply iron the fusible side of Fuse’N Stick to the right side of your base fabric, remove the release paper from the other side of the Fuse’N Stick and place your appliqué on top. After stitching down your appliqué, the excess stabilizer can be removed by tearing or cutting it away. Eliminates the need for water-activated adhesive stabilizers or spray adhesives.
