Many of the national quilt show quilt makers use Misty Fuse for stabilizer. Especially for the very clean smooth modern quilts. When I went to all the national show before covid, I would wait by the winning quilts for some of the makers to show up. Usually most of them were there to stand by their quilts several times a day.

They like all quilters love to talk about their quilts. I learned one of the national winning quilts used Walmart fabric in part of the quilt. One used a projector to mark her quilting design, one wadded her quilt up and tossed it in the corner for months before deciding to finish. I ask questions.
I asked one what brand of sewing machine did she use. Her answer was very surprising., her fancy big machine broke on a Friday night. She was on a deadline so went to Walmart and bought an off the shelf Brother. She said don't tell anyone but I still use that Brother and the broken machine is still in the closet. She said I'll use the cheap machine until I kill it and then buy another. Cheaper then one service fee on the fancy one. There is always a lull of no one around but you and the quilter and that is the time to find out all kinds of neat things about the quilt and the quilter..
