Securing fabric layers with Odif 505 Temporary Adhesive Glue Stick

by Paul Leger

Welcome back! Yesterday’s post was all about cutting ‘hills’ freehand for the Seasons Remembered Quilt, using our OLFA Rotary Cutters. Today, we’re securing the fabrics in place using the HeatnBond Woven Fusible Interfacing – Soft White – 55.8cm x 22.8m (22″ x 25yds).

The amount of HeatnBond Woven Fusible Interfacing needed depends on the width of your landscape. This morning, I looked at it again and played around a bit more with the fabric placement. Once I was happy with the landscape, I measured the layout’s width. It came out to 32″.

With the HeatnBond fusible cut to size, I laid it on the ironing board. I overlapped the sky fabric about one inch over the edge of the HeatnBond interfacing. Then I placed a few pieces of fabric that will represent the rolling hills. Once the first pieces were arranged the way I wanted them, I secured them in place using the OLISO PRO TG1600 Pro Plus Smart Iron.

Continue the process until all the pieces are in place and secured to the HeatnBond interfacing.

To better appreciate the art piece, I cut off the excess fabric to square it up. It definitely improved the overall look!

Due to fabric overlap, some areas will not be fully fused.

Some fabrics are rolled down, showing they were not fused to the interfacing.

To solve this issue, Odif has developed a product that works perfectly: the ODIF 505 Temporary Adhesive Glue Stick.

Apply Odif 505 Temporary Adhesive Glue Stick along the edges of the fabrics you want to secure.

Carefully inspect all the pieces to ensure that all fabric layers are securely adhered to the base fabric. Press gently along the edges and seams to confirm that nothing lifts or shifts.

We all learn to love and rely on Odif 505 Temporary Quilt Basting Adhesive Fabric Spray for basting our quilts. I can confidently say that ODIF 505 Temporary Adhesive Glue Stick will quickly become another well-loved Odif product in everyone’s quilting toolkit.
