I made a small wall hanging and used Fusible Batting for the first time. I found it difficult to use even on a small quilt; can't imagine getting it fused to a large quilt.
Problem: it's as stiff as a board! I didn't prewash my fabric since it's a wall hanging and won't be laundered very often. Now I'm afraid if I wash it to soften the batting, it will pucker and not be flat. Did I do something wrong that it's so stiff or is this the norm for fusible batting? Any suggestions on what to do? If I wash it in cold water will it pucker?
Thanks for any advice!
