It's great for purses!

I looked at Joannes yesterday but they did not have any in stock. I will order some from Connecting Threads and give it a try. I really do not like the basting part of quilting so much, maybe this will be my thing.

Fusible batting does not have the softness of a regular quilt batt, but is perfect for smaller projects like wallhanging, placemats and bags.

I found in using fusible batting that it shrunk when I applied steam and caused pillow tops to wrinkle and so I reheated and removed it. I now preshrink it holding the steam iron above it. One brand that does not adhere is June Tailor's. Several quilting friends and I used it and all had the same experience.

Yes, love it for totes, handbags, place mats and other small projects.

I've used both the fusible (for crib quilts and smaller projects) and like it ok--still pin baste but just not as closely. I have a used the spray baste and like the convenience but really don't like asphixiation issue! So that limits when/where I can use it. I have a question about the Elmer's school glue--is it only the washable WHITE or can you use the washable GEL? And has anyone tried mixing it with water in a spray bottle (obviously would have to take the sprayer out each time and wash out so it didn't clog)? I'd like the spray convenience but with something much less toxic. Feedback appreicated!

I use it for small projects and I like it a lot....

I use the fusible batting all the time for making totes and bags, it gives a sturdier bag than regular batting. I just use it for bags, totes and sometimes placemats and table runners as its' slightly more expensive than regular batting even when I buy it on sale. I tried regular batting once when making a bag and didn't get the same results, the fusible gave me a more substantial bag that holds it's shape very well.

i tried using this on a large quilt-hated it..it was difficult for me to work with and get it smooth and i did not like the "tacky" feel of it..ended up using it on individual blocks rather than the full quilt top..even then, i found it disappointing.

Ooohh - I would love it if we could spray Elmers washable glue. I hope somebody tries it before I finish my next top, because I don't want to be the guinea pig!
