I have definitely used it for wall hangings. Especially on art quilts or photo transfers of faces where you might not want to quilt heavily through, it makes the quilt lay flat.

is that fusible from both sides?

i pay like $45 for the bolt with the 50% coupon. a bolt is 20 yards by 45 inches. its 100% polyester so if you like natural fibers in your quilt this product is not for you. i don't think joining batting is a bad thing per say - its just that people buy my quilts and i just don't feel right about doing that. |
i think the bolts are treated differently since its sold by the bolt.
whereas fabric is open stock - the bolts are out there but you can buy how ever much you want. |

Klue, no it's fusible on one side. |
Should you use the fusible on both sides? I only saw the one side fusible at Hobby Lobby. Do you use the heavy weight ?
|
That might not be a bad idea. I only use the one-sided fusible because that's all I could find at Joann's. I have never used heavy weight. Would that be harder to sew through?
|
i prefer to use fusible on one side. double sided fusible i find is either to thick or there's too much glue that the fabric needle holes don't close around the thread.
heavy weight fusible is not hard to sew thru - even though its called heavy its really not a "heavy" item. its heavy compared to other fusible stablizers or interfacing. the lightest is like tissue paper so compared to that its heavy |
i'll have to try it then. i always like to try new products.
|
is the Pel-Tex like a fleece or a batting with fusible? it doesn't look like it online. it looks very stiff more like Timtex and used for the fabric bowls and vase.
