 Looking for Textiva Tips
Do you work with Textive Fusible Film (also known as fantasy film)? These sheer, colorful sheets are made from the same material as Angelina fibers, and like Angelina can be fused, cut, and stitched.
We're looking for readers' tips and ideas for using Textiva Fusible Film. If you have one (or more!) email cprato@interweave.com, with Textiva in the subject line.
If you'd like to try out Textiva Film, visit our website where we sell it in 18 luscious colors, as well as Angelina and Crystalina (a coarser, crinkled version).
