Fusible Batt
#2
I use Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 fusible a lot. it's fine. now it does take some unrolling it. sticks together. that's the only complaint. they should put some sort of paper inside the roll for us. has a bit of wrinkles but that's all.

I love Hobbs 80/20 fusible batt. Con: having a large enough spot to iron it on. I use the old carpet in my basement. I assemble the sandwich on the floor, iron the top from the middle out, flip the whole sandwich and iron the back in the same manner. Con: it isn't a puffy quilt although the batt does puff a bit after the quilt is washed. I am always careful to not use steam to iron in case it dissolves the water soluble fusible. I don't know if it would but I err on the side of caution.

The only time I don't use Hobbs Fusible 80/20 is when I glue baste a fleece backing and so don't use batting at all.

Thanks for posting this question - I was wondering the same thing! Connecting Threads has all of their batting on sale so I stocked up and just for fun got some of the Fusible Batting to try - but like you, am a little chicken to give it a go!
