I don't know the name of it, I only saw it for the first time today, and the lady who showed me hadn't used it yet, it is batting that you iron on to the quilt top then turn it over and iron on the backing.
it saves you have to baste the 3 pieces together

Is it fusible batting? I think Pellon makes it.

it is fusible but feels and looks like wool is a creamy colour, is very wide big enough for a queen size bed once opened up, you iron on one side then turn it over and do the other side, she says once done it won't move, I saw some other that was white but like wadding but very very thin same idea fusible on both side

sounds like the stuff from Pellon. Is it called Fusi Batting? Fusi Boo? Something like that. Saw it at Paducah show, but the booth was so busy I couldn't see anything. I'd like to know if anyone ever has tried it yet, too. Very interesting. I like to iron, and hate the whole sandwhiching thing

I don't know, but LOVE your kitty!!!

I have tried it (given some from an estate), I did not like it.

I just got an email from Jhittlesewing.com and they have something that I think is what you are talikng about!

"Heat Press Batting Together" is our newest and hottest selling item. This is a new product available in 10 yard packages and we are leaving it on page one for at least another week. This is a perfect item for quilters

I am off to check it out now!!

I was wrong :oops: It sounded right, but it is just a cloth tape you iron on both sides of batting at the edges and the iron on the front and back of quilt. at the edges!!! Does nothing to or for the middle!

Sorry....my hopes were waaay up for this!

The concept sounds good but for larger quilts I rather spray baste then iron.

I didn't either but I looooooove your kitty :D

I'd like to know more about it.

I"ve used it on tablerunners and wallhangers but not sure if I could use it on a larger quilt beings ironing that big of quilt with the basting would be difficult. I would suggest trying it on something smaller before using it on something big. I did like though :thumbup:

I use it it is call fusable fleece. cool product.
:-D

There is also Heirloom 80/20 Fusible batting. You iron it on both sides at the same time. If you get a wrinkle just pull it up and repress. Once you wash the quilt the chemicals that are used for the fusible part washes away.

I've not used it, just heard about it at the Knoxville show. It's by Hobbs. I may carry it once my shop is open. I don't have prices on it yet.

Hobbs Heirloom fusible batting is what i've been using.80/20.

I will try to find out more about it, it is expensive so I am reluctant to buy much till I here more comments about it it is about $30.00 a metre,
the cute kitty is a longhaired Scottish fold called miss pretty

Luv your kitty!! What a soft ball of fur.

I've used fusible batting a lot. I don't like it that much and won't be buying anymore. It's o.k. for small pieces, but would never work for large quilts. I've found it doesn't stick all that well and it simply is more bother than pinning or spray basting.

This was my thought also...

Add me to the list of those who love your kitty. I had one that looked just like it once...then it grew up! But Missy is still cute!

Good luck with the fusible stuff...I'd like to know what it is, too.

Fusiboo???

It sounds good but in practice, not so much! I recently was asked to do the quilting by a friend who had already fused the batting to the top and back. However, I discovered that the back needed to be adjusted since she had a design incorporated in it and it was a real BEAR to reheat and then move the back on the fusible batting! Also, if you aren't careful when trying to reheat, it will rip and then you are left with a place where there is no fusible web left on the batting. I love to try new things but have informed everyone I know not to use fusible batting if they want me to do any quilting!

I have used that. JoAnns carries it, but I prefer the low natural batting.

I use it all the time. It does cost more but with the 40% off at Joann's, not bad. I do hand quilting in a hoop. After getting my quilt all put together I baste a strip of fabric, about 4 inches wide all around the quilt. This seals the edge and allows me to quilt right up to the edge. Then I start in the center and quilt out. This way I can take the quilt with me, in the trailer, and quilt all winter while we are camping in Mexico.

Does it have paper on one side so it doesn't stick to the ironing board when you iron the first side? (Like fusibles for applique.)

That's it! Ithought so but wasnt sure. I am pretty sure they don't sell this at Joann's. At least not that i've seen. Fusi-boo. that's definitely it.

I just ordered a sample. says to allow a few weeks. Once I get my sample, I will share my opinions.

Yes I'v used it. It was ok. Liked using the basting spray better. Problem was it was bulkey to manage on the ironing board.

I saw this @Joanns in Knoxville, Tn on Sunday

I'm really new at all of this and was wondering if the fusible batting or the spray ever makes the needle sticky??? I've been sewing for forty years, but just started quilting. I remember fusible products used to make the sewing machine needle drag. I gather they have improved these products to prevent this??? Thanks so much to everyone on this board. I have learned SO much from reading the posts.

I think it's by Hobbs. I tried it a couple of times and did not like it at all. I will stick to the spray basting. Much easier, works with any batting, and don't have to shop around for it.

I tried it when I took a land scape class(quilt,Of course), I didn't like the feel of the finished product, but it was only a wall hanging so I wasn't too upset.

I bought some once it was awful. I tested it on a small piece of scrap material and it was so stiff you would not want to use it on a quilt. Still have the rest of it in the closet just in case I find something I can use it on.

That sounds interesting but I wonder how easy it would be to iron on a large quilt?

Use It, but not on big quillts. There is a new spary out that is environnmentally friendly that I will use for lg quilts.

I used the 'Fusi-Boo" by Fairfield on a small wall-hanging. It made the piece rather stiff, wouldn't like to use it for a larger quilt, but was easy to handle for machine quilting. The stiffness washed out when I was finished. I have a (double-bed size) quilt fused with Hobb's 80/20 fusible that I haven't started to quilt yet, but I think I'm going to have to pin at least the edges since it really hasn't stood up to handling very well and I'm doubtful about all the manipulation it will need for machine quilting. A friend used the June Taylor fusible batting for a table-runner and it just tore apart when she tried to reposition it.

Hello
Also using batting we use in our Cotton Theory projects works great too. You can steam press the pieces together and still pull them apart and repress. This batting works great and can be purchased from www.quiltyard.com
The batting gives projects a lovely drape too. Happy sewing. Helen

i bought some for a Queen bed quilt (just try to iron that puppy, no fun.) plus the stuff on the back was to web-by. i ended up pulling it all off. my friend Jackie won't even use it with her long arm. Better to stick to the reg. stuff that you know will work.
