I use the original Misty fuse-pink package. The black works great when you are using dark sheer fabrics. The ultraviolet is great for using under white fabrics. All fusible webs will tan or darken slightly over time especially when exposed to light over time.
This is a great video. I was a sewer and now mix media and photog. Artist. Aren’t there other products similar to Misty Fuse? My store did not have that exact one.
Hi Deborah, Most fusible webs will work on other substrates. Experiment with what you have. I would stay away from the heavy no-sew ones if you plan to add stitch. Playing is the name of the game!😄
Most often I use cotton flannel (flannelette in Europe) for a backing material. However, it depends on the final use. I may use a heavier fabric such as cotton duck or something like muslin or osnaburg.
Hi Signe, I am using a gravity feed iron by Silver Star. It isn't as expensive as other gravity feed irons and it has worked great for about 5 years now. I use a lot of steam and this provides plenty. It does not have an auto-shut off though so that is important to know. I plug it into an extension cord and also plug in a lamp so if the lamp is off, I know the iron is off. www.amazon.com/Gravity-Feed-Steam-Silver-ES-90/dp/B002KEA842
I was planning on trying this. I was going to get the Misty fuse online but there were several kinds of Misty Fuse. Please tell me which one to purchase to do this project. This project would be great for me. Thanks. I love all your videos.
Oh darn, I thought I replied to you earlier. I have used all of them. The white is what I use the most. The ultraviolet is wonderful under white or very light fabrics as it is designed to offer ultraviolet protection and won't tan over time. The black color is good for using under darker sheer fabrics. Hope that helps.
Thanks for your tutorial. I have a huge roll of parchment paper that I often use with other fusible web. Could I use the parchment paper instead of buying a teflon sheet? I hate buying so many things for projects where I'm trying to recycle materials. Thanks!
Do you think Misty Fuse is strong enough to use to fuse a card onto fabric (versus fabric to card as shown in your tutorial)? I only have one shot to fuse my card, as I don't have a duplicate. thank you
great question. First, if I have something that is irreplaceable I will often scan or photograph it and use that in the work. Next, how thick is the card? Will the piece be stabilized with a support or something that will be handled? I used it with great success on vintage papers. You can always use two layers of Misty Fuse if it is heavier paper. I also add stitching so that will further secure the card/paper. Let me know if that was helpful.

Thanks Liz!
My pleasure Eleanor. It is one of my must have studio tools
We always learn something new from Liz!
Thanks!
Love all your ideas! -Angele
Glad you like them Angele! Hope you try them out

You mentioned backing material. What type of material do you use? Thanks. I love this video.

I’m curious about what type of iron you are using.
Thank you!

Yes! you can absolutely use parchment paper. I would test a small sample first as not all parchment paper is the same. Have fun creating!

Thanks! I use it for so many applications.
