Problem solved. I was in Fabricland to buy something else and found the remains of a bolt of paper-backed fusible web. A very old and decrepit piece of fusible web. So I asked if they had any more, and she found a bolt in the back for me. It had been opened( no plastic protective covering) but there were still 22m, and at half price, I bought them all. I may never have to buy it again, but then I've been through more than two full bolts over the past 4 years, so who knows. What I had been looking for was the spray adhesive for basting quilts. In Fargo, I can buy a big can for about $10.00. Here I found a small can for $25.98. It's almost worth the trip.
Two of the three charity quilt tops are done. In finishing the second one ( trimming and squaring up blocks) I realized that I had a whole pile of narrow strips of good quality fabric. I've actually taught a class on using this sort of scrap, so why was I about to throw these out? ( And what happened to the same sort of scrap when I finished the smaller top?) So later today, after I finish a small clothing construction job, I plan to play with these scraps and see if I can come up with a saleable product for the "big sale" next weekend. I have an idea, but had been toying with the idea of using narrow scraps of fabric paper. Hm-m-m? Looks like an interesting day. And it also looks like the muse really has come out of hibernation.
