Fusible thread is a lifeline!
After several years of toiling at uniting to lengths of fabric together, I discovered something called fusible thread. Before finding this, I used to either use fusible tape that I would have to iron together and then sew to reinforce the bond of the two fabrics. But the tape leaves a somewhat visible line on some displays. Another way that took a long time was putting pins to temporarily attach the fabric and then sew it. But now fusible thread will be the answer. It works like the fusible tape in that an iron is required, but it is thread form and it looks much better since it doesn't leave a line. This will save me a good amount of labor especially when it comes time for me to do longer banners and hopefully large overheads.
