Finally someone who explains everything precisely with facts not opinions. Shows things exactly how they work with visuals. Really love your voice and explanations.
I've never seen this product before. The best thing about it is you can see through the pressing sheet! The ones I use are opaque. I have to add this to my arsenal! Thx so much for sharing.
Thank you for this video! I have always shied away from applique because I'd rather sew on my machine then by had any day, and it never comes out completely right for me! I knew there are things like this out there, but this is a fantastic demo on its use. I will be buying one soon and concurring a fear and a sewing bucket list item. GREAT video as usual!
Ow , never knew this expiate , amazing mat. I always learn something new from you Laura, wish I had all this information years ago . But who knows maybe I I’ll get my energy to sow lots of nice things again. Seeing I know so many different tools and ways to use things to make sowing so much easier and pleasurable . 🌹❤️🌹❤️🥰
Great tutorial! Can't wait to try it at home. I already own one of their wool ironing mats and love it! The size is exactly the same as the larger fusing mat so it will be perfect to iron on.
I used a silicone cookie sheet and a Teflon sheet and they work exactly the same as what's shown here. . The cookie sheet I got at dollarama for 3 dollars and the teflon sheets on Wish for 4 dollars. Im on a fixed income and couldn't afford the cost and these work exactly the same with my appliqué
That was what I was gonna ask about. I have 3 different size baking mats, and they look the same. I don't use them for baking, i.like using parchment paper
Well I live in England & as usual you can’t get nothing over here. It’s an outrageous amount to buy from USA. So good old eBay kitchen silicone liners. Bigger & cheaper boom done. Yay. I’m glad I saw this video because I was wanting something like this as I have just upholstered my large table top ironing board. Thanks Lura.
Well, that was not con-fusing, at all! 😉 Thank you for a clear, no fuss explanation. I’m going to go buy one of those mats, as I didn’t know what they were, when I came across them, but now I know what they are, and how to use it, it will make my life so much easier. No more pinning! Yeyy! 😊
Wow!!! Love that mat! Thanks for sharing that idea about the glue gun - my daughter is constantly crafting and using the glue gun. This could be used double duty for her crafting AND my sewing - love finding out more than one use for products ♥️👍🏻
Awesome ...gotta have one 😃...so versatile...love that glue doesn’t stick to it ..boy I had a tough job getting glue of my table once. But what was the other mat for Laura? Pressing fusible? 😘💐
Hi Laura Val from Australia,I was watching your video on the fusing mat,I have looked on internet,can’t seem to find it,could please give me internet site. I just love your videos,I have learned so much from you Sincerely val
I see you're using your iron with the pressing mat, right on top of your cutting mat. I have an Olfa cutting mat. Can I use this pressing mat to press my applique pieces right in top of my Olfa mat?
Good morning, I'm not sure how your fusing. Can you please make it clear for me. Once you cut and added bonding / fusing to material.. you keep""fusing"" does the fusing material keep spreading or is the mat causing ..? I only saw you add fusing maral once. Oh buy the way it double sided fusing material? That went mentioned either. Thank you for clarifying im really new to sewing. Seems newbies have to search and cross reference to get complete info. Is prefer to stick with one video for info. It's easier due to my limited time working. Thank you so very much😊
Great video. Thank you for sharing this information! Quick question: where can I order the cutting mat with blue lines on your table & under the teflon/fusing mat?
Ok, so I seem to be the only one confused. Where does the Teflon mat come in? Is it put under the fusible mat when fusing? Used in some other way? I also have silicon mats I use for baking and roasting. Is the fusible mat the same thing? See? Confused!
let's say you are fusing a facing to a neckline. Sometimes fusible ends up on your ironing board or on your iron. put the fusible mat on top of your ironing board. Put the facing wrong side up. Put the interfacing with glue side on the facing. Then, put the Teflon sheet on top of the facing with interfacing. You are ready to press and fuse. No fusible will stick to your iron or to your ironing board. Any fusible that ends up on the fusible mat or the Teflon sheet can be easily removed.
Thanks! Was confused since you didn’t use the Teflon mat in your tutorial. Much clearer now. Don’t do a lot of appliqué, but have struggled with fusible getting on iron or pressing surface. This is great for keeping these clean.
It can be put on top of the fabric, as the mat will not let you move the iron (you can only press)It helps the iron move, can also protect the iron from the overspill from the fusible. And sometimes you need the fusible on both sides, also helps prolong the mat:)
argggggggggg .. i tried finding somewhere i could buy the mat from .. its seems Amazon wont post it to Australia because its third party ... so where can i buy it from ?
She’s not really using it correctly. You’re supposed to put that vinyl sheet on top of your fabric and then iron it you’re not supposed to put your iron directly onto the fabric
Thanks for this great tip, Laura! On another note, I want to reach out to this wonderful sewing community to let you all know of a Charity Sewing Event that I am hosting with 6 of my sewing students (9-13 yrs old) to provide school bags (that the children and I will be making and donating) and much needed school supplies to children in Haiti, one of the poorest countries in the world. Please visit my campaign to raise funds to purchase the school supplies, plus all the information about this event: www.gofundme.com/A-charity-sewing-event-fundraiser I am very proud of these students who are generously donating their time and sewing skills for other less fortunate children. Thank you!

Wonderful demonstration. Like always, thanks Laura. This will be so usable, no more replacing iron board covers. Thanks!
So well explained as usual 😄 A nifty notion indeed! Thank you, Laura.
Thank you for that. As a relative newbie to sewing your channel is brilliant. X
Thank you. You are wonderful at teaching everything to do with fabrics and sewing 🧵

Boy do I need that Mat thanks so much ! My life just got easier !!
I used a silicone cookie sheet and a Teflon sheet and they work exactly the same as what's shown here. . The cookie sheet I got at dollarama for 3 dollars and the teflon sheets on Wish for 4 dollars. Im on a fixed income and couldn't afford the cost and these work exactly the same with my appliqué
I thought this was a silicon mat. I can't use them for cooking as I can't get them clean, but they'll be great for fusing. Thanks for your post.
Can you explain how they work? Thank you so much.
My email:
stlwhitedove@aol.com
I just bought silicone cookie sheet 2 came in pack Thankyou for letting me know I can use them for fusing fabric pieces
Amazon has this on their Black Friday list for less than $20 but you’ll have to go directly to the website as the sale is not reflective in this link
That was what I was gonna ask about. I have 3 different size baking mats, and they look the same. I don't use them for baking, i.like using parchment paper
Very nice mat. I could have used it during my glue gun days. Lol. But now I can use for my quilt I want to do. Thank you Laura.
This mat looks like the ones you use for backing cookies! It works great so I’m sure it will for fusing material
😎
yes i think so,,and i use my baking mat for holding my fabric and hoop when doing machine embroifery works great
That's what I use and it works excellent
I always wondered if I could use a Teflon baking sheet for the fusibles. Now I know. Thank you so much.

I got mine off sewing street uk
Well, that was not con-fusing, at all! 😉 Thank you for a clear, no fuss explanation. I’m going to go buy one of those mats, as I didn’t know what they were, when I came across them, but now I know what they are, and how to use it, it will make my life so much easier. No more pinning! Yeyy! 😊
What a terrific product! Thank you for the demo, Laura 👏🏼😍
This was a really helpful demonstration. Thanks, Laura !
Very nice mat...I have a small one but this looks better to use......hope I can find this at the quilt shows.....😃
Wonderful! I LOVE your tutorials!!
Thank you so much for clear demo. Bought one, but havent used it yet. When do you use the white tefalon sheet?
I was thinking same thing about using my cooking matts...thank you!
This is a MUST have! Thanks!
Wow!!! Love that mat! Thanks for sharing that idea about the glue gun - my daughter is constantly crafting and using the glue gun. This could be used double duty for her crafting AND my sewing - love finding out more than one use for products ♥️👍🏻
Thank you so much l'm learning from you a lot of things
Could this have a dual purpose by using it underneath a slippery pinnable mat to keep it from slipping?
I gotta have me one of these!!!! Thanks Laura 👍
Great tutorial Laura!! Gonna try this, but my question is...where do I get that Flower pattern? It's super cute
Awesome ...gotta have one 😃...so versatile...love that glue doesn’t stick to it ..boy I had a tough job getting glue of my table once. But what was the other mat for Laura? Pressing fusible? 😘💐
Thank you for this wonderful video !
This is a Great informative video! The amount of times customers ask what would I use this for? Now I can refer them to your video!
Thank you! This is so awesome!
Excellent! Thank you!!
Laura thank you so much.. gift time for my quilting buddies!.. ??? Do you like the Iron you used in this video?
Yes I do:)
Hi Laura Val from Australia,I was watching your video on the fusing mat,I have looked on internet,can’t seem to find it,could please give me internet site.
I just love your videos,I have learned so much from you
Sincerely val
thank you for watching www.precisionquiltingtools.com/precision-fusing-mat
Neat product. Thank you.
I was confused so the white plane mat how do you I use it ?
I will get one of these THANKS
Does the fusing mat protect your cutting mat from warping?
Looks like a silpat that used in baking
Elizabeth LaRose I have used my Silat for this and paper crafting, as well! No glue gun mess!
Thanks Laura.
At what point would you use the Teflon sheet?
I really want one of those 😊
Thank you so much
Do the unfinished edges of the cutouts ravel?
Won’t your cutting mat warp because you’re ironing on top of silicone mat on top of the cutting mat?
I see you're using your iron with the pressing mat, right on top of your cutting mat. I have an Olfa cutting mat. Can I use this pressing mat to press my applique pieces right in top of my Olfa mat?
I sure wouldn’t!
Good morning, I'm not sure how your fusing. Can you please make it clear for me.

Is prefer to stick with one video for info. It's easier due to my limited time working. Thank you so very much😊
the fusing glue stays on the fabric, you can keep adding layers and the glue will fuse to what fabric it is sticking on. hope that helps
Love nifty notions!
Great video. Thank you for sharing this information!
Quick question: where can I order the cutting mat with blue lines on your table & under the teflon/fusing mat?
The big mat is called a Pinnable mat in the USA: amzn.to/2KpVsiW
in Canada: amzn.to/2jfVopy
I Just fused fleece to my ironing board two days ago. 😁. This is timely.
Pplll
Won’t the heat from the iron warp your cutting mat underneath the fusible mat?
Laura did say to place something under it that you can iron on and to protect your cutting mat.
It definitely will! Always iron on an ironing board, or a wool ironing mat :)
yes it will, please always place it on your pressing mat
can I use freezer paper?
Is the mat the same as the silicone baking mats? From the video, it looks very similar.
I do not know as I do not have a baking mat
Great notion, wish could get in the U.K. x
Hi Sue
I ship to the UK. Go to www.RoyalQuilts.Co.Uk I am reasonable for shipping
Can you tell me about the iron you are using. No cord?
It is a Panasonic cordless iron,
Thank you.
Great notion!
You just made spent $51.00 with the Amazon shipping!!! I hope it is as good as you show here!!! HA!!!
It's worth every penny.
Especially when you know what your doing. HA!!!!!!
I hope you love it as much as I do :)

It can be used together, as sometimes we have glue on both sides or we just do not want to take a chance of anything thing oozing out from underneath
what is iron temperature/settingh for fusing?
each fusible is different you really need to follow the guild
And the other pad is for?
It can be put on top of the fabric, as the mat will not let you move the iron (you can only press)It helps the iron move, can also protect the iron from the overspill from the fusible. And sometimes you need the fusible on both sides, also helps prolong the mat:)
argggggggggg .. i tried finding somewhere i could buy the mat from .. its seems Amazon wont post it to Australia because its third party ... so where can i buy it from ?
see if www.precisionquiltingtools.com/precision-fusing-mat will ship it to you

Fantastic! Just make sure not to use it on your cutting mat :)
The fusing mat works great on a wool ironing mat :)
She’s not really using it correctly. You’re supposed to put that vinyl sheet on top of your fabric and then iron it you’re not supposed to put your iron directly onto the fabric
Would someone please tell her it is Teflon not Tef-a-lon. I find this very irritating. Thank you.
