    Shades Softfuse

    Does anyone know where to buy this stuff, I am in Canada and can't find it anywhere. From the instructions, sounds like it would be softer than using Steam a Seam Lite, has anyone tested it to see if it is much different?

    Have you checked with the folks who designed the product? http://www.shadessoftfuse.com/

    You might check to see if they ship to Canada. http://www.shadessoftfuse.com/contact.html

      I've spent enough, so am using the Steam A Seam 2 lite that I have on hand. I wondered about the change in heart about brand of fusible.

        I used Shades Softfuse on my 2012 BOM. When I couldn't find it in the roll rather than sheets, I called them to see about ordering some. After confirming nobody locally carried it, I was able to order what I needed directly from them.

          Thanks, have sent them an email, shipping on most of the websites I checked was more than the value of the product. Is it really much softer than Steam a seam lite?

            After a bit more googling, was able to order it from Sue Nickel's webstore. I also ordered the Roxanne's silver pencils and sharpener for marking the quilt. Shipping was reasonable, woo hoo! Excited to get going on the appliqué. I was pretty mystified about the color choices for this quilt, but now that I have laid it out, it is looking fabulous.

            Margo, I love the overlay method for placing appliqué. I use it for needle turn appliqué all the time, very cool method. BTW Sue and Pat's machine appliqué book is very helpful.

              I am in Canada and buy Shades SoftFuse at my local quilt store. Glad you could get it at a reasonable price. I find shipping to Canada usually way more than the cost of what I want to buy!

                Softfuse is my favorite fusible and is the softest I've found. I haven't been able to find it in any of our regional shops so usually stock up when I am at a major quilt show like Houston. However, I have also ordered from their web site when necessary.

                  Thanks Sherry...after ordering the Shades, I racked my brain as I was sure I bought some to try when I was in Houston a year and a half ago. Yay! I found it finally, mislabeled as Steam a Seam. That will teach me to be more efficient in my storage methods. I had bought a yard of it to try and it somehow got separated from the info sheet. I've started cutting my shapes and will have more than enough with the extra I ordered. It definitely OS much softer than Steam a Seam lite. Can't wait to start stitching it.
