I only used the fusible once on a table runner and didn't really like it. Bought it from Joann's. Believe it was the June Taylor brand. Cannot imagine using it on a big project.

I've used the Fusiboo bamboo fusible batting and it sewed just fine. But I don't like the hassle of prying it apart when it comes out of the package and trying to flatten it enough to fuse smoothly. Maybe there's something I don't know about how to do this, but I've gone back to pinning on most things.

I've used the Walmart fusible batting twice on kid quilts with good results (machine quilted on a frame). My needle and machine are just fine before, during and after quilting.

I can't pin because of hand problems, so this is an excellent alternative. My other alternative is basting spray. Great stuff, very handy!

JoAnns carries a Pellon Fusible Fleece. Many of our customers use it for placemats & table runners----in addition to totes. I've never used it for a quilt.

I did try the fusible batting , but once I discovered spray basting , I never used it again. I found it was tough to fuse a full size quilt or larger with the fusible batting... and it was more work than spray basting.

I use fusible batting for practically every project I do that requires batting. I especially like it because there is no waste, you can fuse it in sections and feel secure about it. I never have a problem with the needle gumming up. I always use teflon sheets when I'm fusing so I don't get any of the glue on my iron or ironing board. I only use one type though, it's pricey but my success with it makes it worth it - Pellon 987F Fusible Fleece. I get it at Joanns.

I just got some to use for the first time and it did not want to fuse! Perhaps I was doing something wrong....maybe not enough heat in my iron. To me it just seemed stiff. I'll use it up, but don't think I will get it again.
