It is a fuseable material that you iron on the back of your finished designs so they won't Scratch your skin.

There is several on the market and yesterday someone was asking about Cloud Cover Stitch and the proper way to iron it on.

I bought something just like it at Joann's and used a 50% off coupon - so it was not too bad. It is by Sulky and called Tender Touch. Love it, and it is good on kids and baby items.

I asked at Joann's and no one knew what I was asking for! Thank you so much! I now will be able to go back and find it myself. LOL. Don't get me wrong usually they are very helpful. And I will be cheaper to buy here than having it shipped.
Thank you!

I have this fusible, and I love it! I have ordered most of my supples from Allstitch for years and love their quick, consumer oriented service!

Pellon also makes something that works well to stop the scratching too. It is a stretch knit fusible interface. I get mine at Joann's and use it on every wearable object that I make. I have started cutting it just smaller than my cutaway stabilizer (after I cut the excess of that). I am finding the fabric has a better "hand" this way (because it covers up the scratchy but does not stick to the wearable item (i.e. shirt) so it moves a bit better).

Good idea. I use Cloud Cover because I embroider lots for my granddaughters. I wondered how well it would adhere to the fabric--would it peel etc. Ironing it to the cutaway sounds like a great idea. Thanks.

Linda - is that the interfacing that I use on collars and cuffs?
by lindalee757 24 Mar 2011
the same-it'soft & light and it has held up to alot of washing and drying on everything I have ever used it on. I have used it alot on purchased items-anything that has even the smallest amount of metallic thread in it makes me itch like crazy-use the interfacing and itch is "outta there"! lol

Seen it before. Good stuff. but with the luck that I have with shirts, I don't need it. I did my last one yesterday. NEVER be any more. NEVER. I hate working on clothing.

I love Threadart Marley- that's where I get almost all my stabilizer and I have gotten alot of thread thru there too.Now that I think of it-I have a roll of that cloud cover from there (9.5"x10yd roll). Good quality merchandise, great prices and really fast delivery. ~linda~

I use a knit iron on I bought at JoAnn's...if you cut it with pinking shears it stays on. I have found that the straight cuts seem to peel off after a while, the pinked ones don't.
