    I agree! It looks like interfacing to me! I used something similar to make fabric boxes.

    Its from Joanne's and it is a low-loft fusible polyester batting for a twin size quilt. i
    t has been in my closet since Jan because I quickly discovered it wasnt good for a baby quilt -went to hi loft.
    But it is totally wierd - it is worse than interfacing. And thicker!

    Hmmm...I have no clue, but I personally wouldn't use this in any quilt, it is just too stiff since you are able to just hold it like that!! Weird indeed! :shock:

    that is like Pellon fusible fleece or other used in tote bags. not quilts. did the sales clerk say it was fusible batting for quilts or the label?

    Low loft fusible batting in a bag with a picture of a quilt on it. Fianlly got it to half-stick by glomming it and leaving it during dinner, which was equally screwed up, sand in artichokes. Maybe tomorrow it will all be different
    but I am going to buy something low-loft cotton at Joannes tomorrow and put this stuff back in the closet. I will check the brand whe n I go back and post it.

    that picture is what it looks like AFTER I ironed it on. Before that it looks like any old poly batting would, nice and puffy and soft. I created a monster!
    I am going to search the history posts tomorrow on fusible and figure out if I did something wrong. I will post what I find out

    Something really doesn't look right about it for fusible fleece. Looks like the heavy stuff you use on fabric postcards or something. Maybe it hasn't aged properly. It should not be stiff like that.
