- There are many types and weights available. Most fusible web by the yard is backed with a paper that is suitable to ironing one layer of fabric at a time.
- The weight of the fabric you are fusing will determine the weight of the fusible you want to use. A lightweight fabric such as a sheer fabric would use ultra light weight fusible web. The heavier the weight of the fusible, the stiffer the fabric will be after fusing.
- Buying fusible web by the yard allows you to create a tape the width you want or fuse large pieces of fabric, such as an applique.
- Sheets of paper backed fusible web can be traced on to or drawn on to create a desired shape. This allows you to fuse a larger piece of fabric and then cut out the desired shape.
