The only thing I have used fusible batting on is purses. My quilts are made to be washed , and dried in the washing machine , on gentle if I remember if not.. Oh well.. None are heirloom or show quilts. I just have to convince some people of that. Like the wheelchair quilt I made my dad with everyones hand prints appliqued on it. Flannel backing. That thing was satin stitched and machine quilted out the ying yang . Meant to be used and abused. My step mother sent it back . Brand new Never been used . I was so mad.. I am not hand agitated anything.. I had to use a wringer washer as a kid and I can tell you I remember the pain of getting my hand caught in that better than I remember child birth. If I can avoid it my hands do not touch wash water. LOL
