I'm just getting started on sewing and I did not realize that you really actually do need this stuff. You take it and iron it on to your fabric and it stiffens up the fabric so it's not stretching and bunching (like a T-shirt does) when you sew it

I didn't know that I would have to get this product separately. Sometimes machines come with it but mine didn't. This little gadget clips on your sewing machine and is best used when you want to sew a zipper on your project. It's really been a hassle...
