Hi Sharon.
Thanks for the heads up on this product. I have thought about this sort of stuff for a while and was intrigued when you asked about it. Having a positive report from you is very useful.
I have ordered items from Thread Studio in the past and they have been excellent to deal with. They are very professional.
Have a nice day.

Thanks for the review of mistyfuse – its good to know how a product will work. great postcard- I’m not sure how you maintain such a large stash with such wonderfully embellished surfaces!

Thanks for this recommendation, Sharon. I will definitely get some Mistyfuse when I am in the US this month. I like the fact that you say it is easy to hand stitch through. This must be just the product I am looking for. I also love your postcard – especially the way that the blue fabric changed from being positive space to negative space when you added the embroidery! cool! cheers Mara (in Beijing)

I knew you’d love it once you tried it!

Hi Sharon
I would send you a personal email but I can’t find an address – if you email me your snail address I will send you some Gossamer Fuse which is our own product and you can try it for yourself.
Cheers

I got some MistyFuse about a year ago, and I love it. It’s everything you say it is. I wanted to be able to work with thin silks and keep the drape of them, so that I can have a CQ garment that doesn’t stand up by itself, and this stuff is going to work for that!

Sharon, thanks for a great post covering Mistyfuse. Perhaps I won’t have to learn applique, after all. I especially enjoyed seeing your work on the fabric postcard.
I’ve just tagged you back with a “You make my day” award. Thank you for all your work, posts and classes that have been such a constant inspiration to me.

Thank for the link. I have tagged you for ‘you make my day award’.
The first week’s results from the TIF are on my blog.

Thanks for trying it out before I bought it.
I was wondering about it and now know that I can buy it and not be disappointed with it.
Thank You Kathy kathyro@smartchat.net.au

I’ve used Mistyfuse but never made anything as lovely as this. This is beautiful! Gayle

Thanks for posting your review of MistyFuse and your positively mouthwatering sample postcard. Gotta get me some of that stuff!

Your blog was one of the first I ever discovered and I studied it, not believing how much effort you put into it! Thanks.
However, I’m into (fiber)craft, but not so much into crazy quilting, so I’m not so regular here.
What made me posting is that I just thought “wow, how beautiful, that’s great” when I saw your picture, only to find out that it was only the first and not of the finished work. Hope you don’t mind, but this one really inspires me.
Memories of one of my favorite art pieces by the surrealist Max Ernst floated through my mind as well.
Greetings to you in the other side of earth

Tally
thanks for the compliments but I do both embroidery and crazy quilting and it is not the first time I have worked this way – check out the postcards on my flickr account –

Also on my site there are embroidery samples which uses this type of heavy textured treatment
http://inaminuteago.com/embroidery/embroiderygallery.html
and my Sumptuous surfaces class teaches this type of highly textured embroidery
details about my class are on the classes offered page – so if you want more eye candy like that
