Paper Piecing
Paper Piecing with “Stitch N Wash®” saves you a lot of time by eliminating the task of tracing the pattern onto muslin or paper. This method lets the copy machine/inkjet printer do the work for you. The stabilizer gives you a firm yet flexible foundation to stitch on to and is much better for your machine than paper. “Stitch N Wash®” stabilizer has silicone within it making it needle friendly!
Perfect Take Along Play Mat
This play mat may be machine washed and dried. Load the zipper pocket with a few toy cars and you are ready to go and play!!
Picture Frame Mats
Capture more than just the picture! Accent a moment in time with custom picture frame mats.

Stitch N Shape Fusible can be covered with fabric, loose threads or just about anything that can be fused! The regular non-fusible version is the perfect foundation for painting, stenciling, glitter, and/or decorative machine stitching.
