Thank you I had seen this before but forgotten. A great help
Can you please give more information? The link no longer works.

The basic idea is that she ironed fusible interfacing to the back of the patterns. The fusible interfacing is more durable than the tissue that the patterns are printed on, so fusing it to the back creates a more duable pattern. –Anne
