Fantastic fusible applique with HeatnBond Light by Tania Denyer January 8, 2019 written by Tania Denyer January 8, 2019 1.2K Yesterday, I shared with you the material list and cutting information for the Magical Mushrooms table runner I’m working on this week. Did I say work? It’s all fun when using Banyan Batiks Daisy Chain fabric!! I love fusible applique and I encourage everyone to try it! It’s quick and simple. The advantage of using batiks for your fusible applique is that the thread content is high and allows for a crisp edge to your applique pieces. Step 1 Trace mushroom templates onto the paper side of the fusible using a pencil. You’ll need to cut the following from the templates provided: 4 mushroom tops 2 mushroom undersides (the dark gray in my sample) 4 mushroom stalks 4 grass Step 2 Using paper scissors, cut around the templates at about ¼”, you don’t have to be exact at this point. After tracing the templates onto the paper side of fusible, cut outside the pencil line.

You’ll notice that I removed the excess fusible in the center of each applique. I do this to allow for less stiffness in the final project. This is a personal choice, you may proceed as you usually do with fusible applique. Template parts after fusing to chosen fabrics Step 4 Cut out template pieces on the drawn pencil line. Mushroom templates trimmed on the pencil line in preparation for fusing to background Step 5 As the instructions indicate and using the picture at the end of this post as a guide, press the applique pieces on one at a time as indicated, removing the paper backing as you go.
