Has anyone used this? If so, do you like it? Is it fusible on only one side? If so, do you have to baste the other side to the fabric because, if you do that, what's the point of fusing and not basting?

I have only tried it once on a wall hanging, and I did NOT like it at all.
It did not adhere well, and what did fuse came undone while quilting. I followed the directions as to the fusing process, and had to re-fuse it 3 times while quilting...

Unless they come out with a new type of fusible batting, I won't be trying it again :(

I use it in my bags. I really like it. I had some trouble with it sticking but found if I press on the fabric side instead of the batting side, it adheres much better. Also, if you quilt it to the fabric, that will hold it better.

I have only used it for my tote bags and it worked great. I pressed on the fabric side. It does get stiff, I would not use it for a quilt, but that is what I want when making the tote bags.

It doesn't adhere to starched fabrics and I don't care for it at all. I won't be buying it anymore.

I like it to make tote, bags, purses.

I have used it several times & I like it. You do have to iron on the fabric side though for best results

Tried it and didn't like it at all....

Thanks, everyone for your opinions.

I tried it but once I discovered spray basting ... I never used the fusible batting again. It did not hold nearly as well as spray basting. The leftovers I have .. I will only use for small table runners because for a full size or larger it just did not compare to spray basting.
