How to Add Fusible Web to Fabric and Applique Fabric Motifs
Fusible web is like dry glue for fabric. If you need to applique one fabric piece to another, it is excellent to use. You will need an iron to heat up and activate the glue. Once the 2 fabrics are fused, you can continue stitching your applique without it moving around. Find out more in this step-by-step tutorial with pictures.
 

How to Make Patterns and Permanent Templates
You need patterns and templates mainly for sewing crafts, wood crafts and paper crafts. Creating permanent templates is easy and has a couple of advantages. First, if you wish to create the same project more than once you will save a lot of time because the template is already prepared. And second, if you are working with a group, the templates are durable and can be easily passed along to the next person. Permanent templates are especially useful when making crafts with children.
