Has anyone heard of iron-on batting? If you have, have you tried it out and what do you think??? ;)

Yes, and I don't like it. My sister and I both bought a roll and it goes in te trash. This has been a little time ago so maybe it has gotten better.

I'm a pretty new quilter, and I could never get my batting to stay put, even with pins all over the place. I really liked the iron on batting. I don't have complicated tops, but it kept everything together while I quilted- though again at a low level of difficulty.
It did seem to feel thicker to sew through, and I could see how that would be a problem for quilters who want to do fine detailed work.

i bought some a while ago, maybe seven yrs, and used it on a queen sized quilt and i loved it....i stilll basted it a bit with thread and i handquilted the quilt....i could never find more....thy were always out of stock when i asked...too bad

I used it on a small piece and it worked okay enough for that. I would still give it a try if I came upon some on sale.

I use it when I make my grommet purses.

Yes - thermal batting. I used it on a quilt or two and it worked fine.

I love Hobbs 80/20 fusible quilt batt. It is a little difficult to find a place big enough to iron it on because I prefer to lay it out flat. I use the old carpet in the basement. I machine quilt the center portion and sometimes I do need to re-iron the edges outward before finishing. I've heard excellent reviews for the spray basting but I am asthmatic and don't use it.

I found it very difficult to hand quilt through, but it's great for machine quilting.

fusible batting. i use it a lot and like it. i soak my quilts when finished to soften them and get rid of the fusible.

I am using it now for the first time. I am hand quilting. I thought I had ironed it on good but some of the areas around the edge have separated. But I put a few pins in and it is holding - also my top isn't shifting so i believe its okay. I did not find it difficult to hand quilt through. I have 1 more piece and will make a final decision after that.

Walmart has it. I bought some and used it on a small quilt. I can't manage basting/pinning well, so it really simplified the work. It did feel 'stiffer' than other batting, but I think a few washings would take care of that.

I used it one time. Since it was so new to me, I only bought enough for my project. I don't remember having any problems with it. Honestly, I forget just what I used it on.

I love this batting. Given a choice, it's the only one I'd use. It washes well, and yes although it's a bit stiffer when first ironed on, it really softens up after washing.

i use it sometimes- when it fits with my project. easier to use than spray basting i think. i've only used small craft/crib sized fusable batts- for me just too difficult to use a larger one--and for me being a long-armer- not necessary- but it works great for projects i'm not using the big machine on. really works great for craft projects like purses/totes and wall hangings/ table toppers-placemats. :)

I used it once, and it functioned fine, but I'll never do it again. I don't think it's a good idea to be inhaling the fumes that come off of it as you iron.

When I do use fusible batting, it tends to be for smaller projects. I tried it once on a queen sized quilt, and found it difficult to use because I don't have a queen-sized ironing board and don't want to iron on my floors because they're hardwood. Like many other quilting tools, there's a time and a place for each to be used.

Seems that the majority agree with my thoughts. I used it only once which should sum up how I feel about it.
