Fusing

Category: <span>Fusing</span>

Fusible appliqué is fast, fun and full of possibilities! Fusing permanently adheres layers of appliqué fabric. It’s easy to learn how to make iron on appliqués with a fusible adhesive backing. All you need for the process is some fabric, fusible web, an appliqué fusing mat, an iron, an easy tutorial — and your creativity.

Browse through these projects and inspiration for fusing.
