They are often made of cellulose, which is plant-based, unlike the fusible webbing which is polyester. If you want to fuse, then use Bondaweb or another similar product with them. I know that people use them over here in the UK.
I know quilters who use old fabric softener sheets as leave-in foundation fabric for crazy-quilt squares. There is also a technique for turning under the edges on a piece of applique that usually calls for interfacing but works fine with dryer sheets – I often make my quilt labels this way*.
It’s not a ‘craft’ use, but if you wipe your bathroom mirror with a used dryer sheet, it won’t fog as easily.
*In case you’re wondering about the technique: trace your applique piece onto the dryer sheet, roughly cut it out at least 1/4″ outside the line, lay your cutout on the right side of your applique fabric, and sew COMPLETELY around on the line. Trim both pieces to a reasonably accurate 1/4″, clipping as needed, pull the dryer sheet away from the applique fabric and CAREFULLY cut a slit in the middle of just the dryer sheet. Turn the piece right side out through the slit, poke the seam out smooth, press, and you’re ready to sew it onto something.
