I used it wonce and did not like it. Even after washing several times it seems stiff. I think the basting spray and Sharon Schambers way of sandwiching the quilt is the way to go.

I am finishing a wall hanging and used the fusable batting. I will not use it again because unless it is absolutely perfectly straight it is not easy to manuever.
|
Don't like it. I used it once and said "Never Again!!"
|
I use the fusible on smaller projects and really like it. I LOVE the spray adhesive but it does require a lot of smoothing of the layers to make it come out right. Good luck.
|
Didn't care for it.
|
I didn't like it at all.. the only place I use fusible is when I make totes or bags.. but never for quilts..
I use basting spray and I've had great results with it. |

Fusible batting is best for wallhangings and crafts like handbags becasue it is not nearly as soft and cozy as regular batting. I'd not use it for even a lap quilt, and I'd suspect that a quilter you sent it to wouldn't either.

Starch, are you useing it for basting? I used the basting spray on my last lap quilt and the fabric was not sticking.
|
I have used the fusible batting for quilted jackets, bags and quilt-as-you-go quilts. It worked wonderfully for me. I don't know if I would use it on a big project, but small ones work great.
