What is this notion used for?
Perfect Fuse Interfacing available in Sheer, Light, Medium and Ultra tailoring...also available in black or white.

The interfacing is 60" wide and is a fusible weft.

Did you get your money's worth after the purchase?
I really dislike the Pellon brand of interfacing and was searchng for a better quality. I came across the Palmer-Pletsch brand and although it seemed a little pricey to me, after reading about it and recomendations from others, I bit the bullet and ordered a variety of colors and weights. The interfacing can be ordered in 1 yard or 3 yard pkgs and the single yd price is 7.95-8.95.

I've used it several times now and I'm very happy with it. The interfacing does not need to be pre-shrunk, it's wide(which I think makes the price more reasonable) and it fuses well. I enjoy using it and feel like I have the same quality BEHIND my garment as the fabric I choose for the front.

Is this notion easily available?
I have only found it available at www.palmerpletsch.com; I wish I could find it somewhere where I could occasionally get a coupon for!

Would you recommend it to others?
This is the first time I've used a weft interfacing and I'm very happy with it. I plan to keep it in supply and would highly reccommend...it's lovely stuff!

calminatrix 10/4/09 i completely agree with you, i bought a collection of their interfacings when i first delved into the world of interfacings, not sure what was what and believing in their brand name and i haven't been dissapointed yet. it should be noted that some of their weights must be pre-shrunk like the medium weight for example. i used some on one of my most cherished creations which has now been through the wash several times and has fared beautifully!

Restart06 10/4/09 Thanks for sharing this as all I have available to me within driving distance is pellon. Will try some on my next purchasing adventure.

Patzee 10/4/09 Fabric Depot in Portland carries it. I'm on their email list and they often have sales that I think include their interfacing. www.fabricdepot.com

ButtonFaith 10/4/09 Patzee: Thanks for the heads about about the Fabric Depot! I've added my name to their mailing list! Calminatrix: Thanks for letting me know that some of the perfect fuses have to be pre-shrunk!

Kzoo Nan 10/5/09 Thanks for the review; I just saw that Perfect Fuse is now available through Butterick's site (http://www.butterick.com), too.

Nancy Rhodes 10/7/09 I ordered and used / tested the four weights...& very much liked the results. I must caution.. at least two of the types DO REQUIRE pre-treatment. Please read the labeling carefully... not at home so I can't accurately say which ones do.. but all are not needle ready!

Sarah J Doyle 10/20/09 Thank you soooo much for this review. I, too, have been looking for alternatives, and now WILL try this one. Thanks again!
