This single-sided fusible and water soluble paper developed by
Masako Wakayama can be used for hand appliqué and being a
single-sided fusible, is perfect even for tiny appliqué designs and
being semi-water soluble and washable, the paper doesn't need to be
removed from your appliqué. Instead it will become very soft as if
part of the fabric. The manufacturer's say there will not be a
noticeable difference between the areas that have the appliqué
paper and those that don't. The paper is also thin and soft enough
to enable you to easily embroider or quilt over.

Transferring the design onto the appliqué paper was simple: lines
showed through clearly. It was easy to cut giving a precise shape.
Compared with my normal branded product it was softer to the touch.
My needle went through the fabric and paper with ease, making it a
pleasure to use. It worked well with straight edge and a curve.
Washing a sample resulted in a smooth, soft surface. Simple
embroidery worked on top of the appliqué shape was a breeze! I
enjoyed using this product and would certainly purchase it to add
to my stash.
*Icknield Quilters - British Patchwork and Quilting*
I was delighted to try the Masako Wakayama paper. Initially I
thought that it was a little thick but when I ironed it in place
and sewed on my appliqué design, it was softer than the appliquick
one that I usually use. It feels more flexible and not stiff at
all. I also put it into water as it is water soluble. After it was
ironed, it was very soft and you would not know that there was
anything there apart from your design. I think it compared very
favourably with other brands I have used for years. I was very
impressed with this Masako Wakayama product and will be searching
for it to use in the future.
