Pellon 805 Wonder-Under Fusible Web 17in x 10 Yards Applique

The Pellon 805 Wonder-Under Fusible Web — 17" x 10 Yards is a paper-backed fusible web for appliqué work. Wonder-Under allows you to trace appliqué shapes onto the paper backing, fuse to the wrong side of your appliqué fabric, cut out the shape, and then fuse the finished piece to your quilt top — creating a permanently bonded appliqué that can be finished with machine or hand stitching.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Wonder-Under work for appliqué?

Draw or trace your appliqué shape on the paper backing side. Press Wonder-Under to the wrong side of your appliqué fabric. Cut out the shape. Peel the paper backing. Press the fusible side of the cut shape onto your quilt top fabric. The heat-activated adhesive creates a permanent bond that holds the appliqué piece in place for stitching.

Is Wonder-Under the same as Steam-A-Seam?

Both are fusible webs for appliqué, but they have different properties. Wonder-Under is a standard fusible web that activates permanently with heat. Steam-A-Seam 2 (Lite version) has a pressure-sensitive adhesive allowing repositioning before the final heat set. For permanent appliqué that does not need repositioning, Wonder-Under is appropriate.

What stitching finishes Wonder-Under appliqué?

Satin stitch, blanket stitch, straight stitch, and zigzag are all common Wonder-Under appliqué finishing stitches. Some quilters skip additional stitching for art quilts that won’t be washed.

Is Wonder-Under machine washable after fusing and stitching?

Yes — properly applied and stitched Wonder-Under appliqué is machine washable.

What is the difference between Wonder-Under and Lite Steam-A-Seam 2?

Wonder-Under is a standard permanent-fuse web; Lite Steam-A-Seam 2 is repositionable before heat-setting. Both produce permanent bonds when heat is applied.
