Our February SpirARTuality task was making Paper Fabric (or is it Fabric Paper? I don't really know) with MistyFuse.
1) Lay Parchment Paper on your work surface.
On top of that, I put down a layer of scrap fabric as my base, then a layer of MistyFuse, then this tissue paper, and ironed:
2) Next, another layer of MistyFuse. Sprinkle on more stuff,
Protect your iron by covering with parchment before ironing:
3) Repeat step 2 another 2-4 times.
4) When your collage is done, top with a layer of MistyFuse and a single layer of netting, tulle, etc:
See next post for final product.
My friend Jo loves MistyFuse. I didn't care for it all that much. It drapes really well, but I like my fuser to be stiffer so it's not always making wrinkles or scooching out of place. I'd use MistyFuse again, but wouldn't pay more for it than WonderUnder.

This is really cool, Helen!
I think MF is great for this kind of collagey, layered, fabric-making kind of project. But, you're right. WU is great in most circumstances (and only $1 at Walmart).
That's really cool. Reminds me a little bit of the technique of fusing tissue paper to wax paper.
