Do You Know the Difference?

I came across this post and I found it truly informative.  I have just started seeing it appear more and more in patterns I wish to make from appliqueing, bags, etc.  I love the fact that Ashley includes brief project examples of how to use either interfacing, fusible adhesive, and fusible web and the close up shots of what each one looks like (back and front) helps you understand what you will feel and see when trying to decide.  Have you ever wondered what was the difference between these (keep in mind there are several different companies that make them, so you will have to experiment which you like best), well Ashley has broke it down for you.  I have seen racks of various types interfacing at my local craft store and they were all different and I was baffled on what I needed, also I was curious if I should buy more or different types when they are on sale or when I have a 50% coupon, well this post helps me.  The next thing to do now is test it out.

A new way to jazz up your binding

I thought this was a neat technique to jazz up our quilts in the binding department.  Trisha with TLC Stitches has a tutorial on faux piped binding.  I thought I would share this with you as I think this could really add the look of another border built into the binding or puffy piping, depending the direction you iron your strip.  Her tutorial/pictures are very easy to understand.  Tooooooo cute.  Enjoy.
