Univ. of Nebraska at Lincoln did a research study on how adhesive sprays & fusibles effect quilts. They found that many of the products will cause fabric to yellow and/or stiffen, after awhile. This is a link to the study, if you'd like to read it. You will need Adobe reader to access this link. The link below will take you to the Quilt Study Group. |
