@Jadelets89 Technically you could but I don't like to waste fabric like that. You could use dryer sheets too its similar in consistency to the interfacing. Have fun!
Nice job one handed! LOL.. You can use a lightweight, nonwoven, fusible interfacing. It's not permanent though, as the glue is slight and is only to tack the piece in place. You follow TCG's method, making sure the glue side of the interfacing is facking the pretty/right side of the fabric. Once you turn the piece, and smooth the edges..you iron the piece down, then finish your edges with a decorative stitch.
not really cheating and this has been being done for years....via Eleanor Burns, Beth Ferrier and many others....it is also good to cut away most of the interfacing before sewing it down, so you do not have lots of bulk where the pieces are layered!
Hi. Couldn't you use fusible interfacing and do everything the same and then just iron it onto your project instead of sewing it down? Except instead of ironing the seams down you could use a bamboo stick or chopstick or pointy stick to poke the seams into place.
@TheCraftyGemini Oh, I had no clue that fusible web is not washable. Thanks. I am looking for a sewing a machine that threads the needle for me and is easy to load the thread, but so far the ones I found are $400!
@twinstar9 It is washable.... it's the drying part that can cause some issues. When you put it in the dryer the heat that activated the fusible web to make it stick will re-melt and it can come detached. I don't like to run those chances on my projects so I just sew it down for security.
Great tutorial. My mom being a Seamstress did all these things and I watched. Your bringing back awesome memories. You're really good. Thanks for sharing with us on YT.

@twinstar9 You could if the project was not going to get washed...I just tend to sew everything down whether its fused or not for permanency.

I think Quilt in a Day, Eleanor Burns, made this method famous many years ago. She does it alot, and has several shows detailing the steps.
Good tutorial though, with clear instructions.
