Angelina fiber is a type of shreded mylar, as I understand you have to make it into a "fabric" by heat fusion.

I have used both mylar and angelina fibers and angelina sheets. I prefer the angelina because of the way it shows color, and it is wonderful to save the scraps from and reuse together for a stained glass effect.
The lady who has helped me is Genene at embellishments Galore. She is fantastic at answering all questions about angelina products. I have gotten both the fiber and the sheets from her and she insists on making sure you know how to use it correctly and the quality is exceptional. I am giving the link to her site so you can contact her. She also has a yahoo group if you are interested.
I haven't met her but am a more than satisfied customer.

I have not well all understand: Mylar is a sheet that I can use as applique, Angelina can be angelina fiber or angelina film, Angelina film is alike mylar, but it must be heat with an iron? before or after? the embroider. With angelina fiber we must creat something with ironing? can you help me?
