? re: Fusible Batting
I'm making a fusible applique table runner and want to use fusible batting. Do I fuse the batting to the backing or the top? I want to stitch around the applique thru all layers and thought the fusible would work best. Also since this is a first for me, the instructions said cut the square a 1/2" bigger then trim after the applique is fused? Should I wait to trim after its quilted or will that be harder to square up to 12 1/2" block?
Thanks

Fusible batting is fusible on both sides. Many people put their batting down smooth the back over it, fuse. Turn over, smooth top over the other side of the batting and fuse again. I would wait to trim/ square up until after quilting, before binding

If you are talking about fusible fleece, I usually adhere to the backing but have used it on the top IF I don't want the blanket stitch of my applique to show through to the back. That way I can do a stylized quilting on the whole piece without having the blanket stitch apparent on the back, if that makes sense.
