I've used Mountain Mist fusible batting and liked it OK. It does take effort to sandwich without wrinkles, but so does pinning. It helps if you have a big surface for ironing, and I still pinned around the outer edges, it worked fine with no puckers.
What I don't like about that specific fusible batting I used is that I had to quilt it no more than 2'' apart, that is a lot of quilting for me, especially that with the Dream Cotton I use, I quilt up to 10'' apart.
Forgot to say, I didn't have any problems with needle gumming up. And used on a 50'' square wall hanging.
