Fusible thread isn’t commonly used; it’s been around for a while and is very useful for certain applications, but I must admit I don’t use it much myself either. If you want to know how you can use fusible thread, you can find instructions and tutorials on the Superior Threads website for a super quick way to attach binding, as well as applique. And Trish Stewart has a really nice downloadable photo tutorial for reverse applique – you’ll need to scroll down to the bottom of the page to find this.
I never even considered using fusible thread for embellishing, however this tutorial by Lazy Girl Designs shows you how to use it to make an embellished design – very clever.
So if you’ve never even used that spool of fusible thread that’s been rolling around the bottom of your thread bin for years, give it a try, you just might find that you like it after all!
This post is part of the 30 Days of Titivations; a 30 day blogathon all about embellishing and embellishments.
You can find lots of free embellishment tutorials in the tutorials section of my blog which can be found here, and even more techniques can be found on my Titivations DVD. Please visit the Instructional DVD section of the store for full details.
