    Default Fusible for batting?

    I am wondering if I can use fusible stuff for joining batting. Does anyone know?
    TIA

    If you mean fusible interfacing, yes you can. They make fusible joining in different widths, but you can make your own cheaper by cutting your interfacing in strips. It may be tricky ironing it on if you use poly batting. Cotton batting would be easier to work with.

    yes, they sell fusible tape in different widths. Or you can hand sew your batting pieces together yourself by hand or machine.

    Yes, it's cotton batting. And I wanted it so I don't have to sew it together. Thanks!

    just be sure to quilt over those areas. the tape will not hold it together forever. Good luck.

    Yes, I buy inexpensive fusible interfacing and cut strips and iron it on. So much cheaper than the precut stuff on the roll. I buy the cheapest stuff at JoAnn's, it's thin so it works perfect no extra bulk.

    I use the least expensive fusible I can find and like others cut into strips. I then zig zag the pieces together. The fusible makes my Frankenstein pieces lay nice and flat and not look wonky when I have a lot of pieces put together for a single top.

    I use Heat Press Batting Together tape. Works great to fuse batting together and is great to use in QAYG projects.

    I use Pellon Featherweight fusible that I bough a bolt of in sale, cut the widths I need and it works beautifully. So much easier than trying to zigzag stitch without stretching the batting all wonky. I quilt pretty tightly, so not worried about it coming apart.
