Help! fusible batting problem. Ruined quilt.
#51
It is not as inexpensive as Elmer's glue but since it doesn't take much for it to work I think it's worth the price and convenience. I have used it on Queen sized quilts as well as placemats and table toppers. I love the ease of it.
So sorry about your experience with the fusible batting. I have used it, too, (another brand) and not had any problems. June Tailor products haven't always been my favorite for a multiple of reasons.

Thank you for posting this timely post. I was thinking of purchasing some fusible batting. It looks like if a person were to buy some Hobbs is the brand to buy. I just finished basting a quilt using Elmer's school glue. This is the first time I used it on a double size quilt. It really worked well. I've also used it on two lap quilts. It washes out well but you must wash your quilt before you give it away. Congratulations on you new work surface. That is something we could all use. I sure hope they get your quilt sorted out!! Not a big fan of June Tailor products and this can be added to my reasons why. Good luck.

Too bad that you are going back to pining with one unfortunate incident. I have used fusible batting several times and simply love it because you do not have to pin the quilt and "everything" stays in place. Perhaps you could try the Hobbs fusible on a small item just to convince yourself that it is great product. Just a suggestion.

I am so sad that this has happened to you. I have always had a fear of fusible batting. Hopefully someone here has an answer I would try some Murphy's Oil Soap on it to see if it loosens it some. Calling the Manufacture is most like your best course of action.
