Can I attach silk flowers to fabric using fusible web?

I have a Christmas sweatshirt with silk poinsettas fused onto it but can't figure out how it was done.|||You may want to use a product called Heat and Bond, sold at fabric stores. This product is a breeze to use. First, you iron this product onto the fabric, then cut out your shape, then iron that shape onto the garment. It really is as easy as that.





Heat and Bond comes in several weights, so be sure you select the correct weight and follow the directions. You will be amazed at the results and it is totally washable, too.





Happy Holidays.|||There is actually more than one to do it. You can use fusible web - use the "light" one, you can use a fusible powder (Aleene's is one brand), use LiquiFuse (looks like glue but fuses with an iron just like the web). I would go with the liquid for silk flowers since it is easier to apply precisely.
