Have any of you tried Fusi-Boo Batting made by Fairfield? I saw an add for it and ordered a swatch. It's cotton and rayon which is made from bamboo and has a water-soluble fusible resin. Here's the site: http://www.poly-fil.com/

I've tried a fusible spray and didn't like it...got gummy residue on everything. Wondered if any of you have tried this new "green" product. Would be great it if works?

I have never heard of it, but will be looking for replies from any who have. Sounds intriguing.

I can't wait to hear more about this :D
I am not sure about the recommended quilting distance of 2-4"... 2" is a bit close for me...

Saw it demonstrated at a Quilt Show in the Atlanta area. It was demonstrated in the Hancocks Fabric booth. Looked interesting buat decided to spend my money on fabric.

Hmmm, that Rayon content would give me cause for pause. In my experience Rayon shrinks like crazy. Way more then cotton. But maybe the bamboo doesn't? This is the first I have ever heard of it as well.

I did a blog search and there are many quilt bloggers that have used it and written about how they like it. Here is one review:http://quiltingsuesquiltblog.blogspo...oo-review.html

I go to the blogs for info about new or never used quilt products.
