I hadn't seen this before but looked up on google-very cool results!

I saw a promo about this product this week too.I would not pay that price for it.My friend used wool batting in a quilt , and accidently wash it it a 60C wash , it did the same thing,eeekkk, not what she wanted ,

This is the first I've ever heard of this...sure wish it was not so expensive!

I have to have some!

I just looked on Amazon.com...(can get things cheaper on there sometimes) but it is just about the same price!.
I'm going to check with my emb. store... I get 20% off there.. This is something JoAnn Fabrics should stock and we could use our 40% off coupons!

I have used the Texture Magic in flowers out of organza, sort of made a sandwich with TM in middle and organza as the "bread" on both sides. Hooped, stitched, trimmed close and steamed! The DGD really loved them so putting a bunch on the organza skirt of her first Communion dress. Lots of them! If you just cut the TM the size of the design (or just inside the hoop) not alot is wasted. So worth the results. Linda

I bet it was lovely,and worth it for something special.but I want to play

A while back I received a sample piece. Loved it. Your right it is expensive. Tried to bunch up fabric and tied it up and put it through the washer and dryer. Then carefully ironed a piece of iron on stabilizer over the wrinkles. There is an elastic thread that can give you wrinkles if you make enough rows of them sort of like smocking.

I just learned about this type of product at an Anita Goodesign event I went to last month. I looked and looked and can't seem to find anything like it "cheap". I bought an 18*47 piece of Texture Magic from WorldWeidner for $9.99.

I once heard about a Japanese thread that you sew in and then shrink but I have never been able to locate it. maybe someone here knows about it.

never heard of that one

I had never heard of this and would love to see the result of what it looks like after using this. Hope you might upload a sample of something you have made, so we can see it.
thanks edith

Sorry, I am a novice at the computer but if you look at Jenny Haskins site you will see the fascinator flowers

Superior threads carries Texture Magic but it is expensive too.
