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.

It's okay but I still prefer Elmer's glue!

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!
