I am making a bow tuck purse and it calls for Pellon fusible fieece I really dont know what this is and where do I look for it ? Is it like fusible that you use for applique? Can you tell that I am not an seasoned quilter? :XD:

Fusible fleece is sort of like batting only not.

It's like batting with a fusible side. I have used it but the last purse I made I used warm and natural and it came out fine. It even stands up by itself.

You can get it at JoAnn. Good luck with it. I have had problems with it fusing to the fabric. I don't know if others have had that problem. I think the next tote I make, I will use regular batting. :)

It's usually where the interfacings are.

I think it's called Pellon 987. As others said, it's a light weight batting with one side fusible. I liked it really well in the mini bow tucks I made.

Have fun!

Thanks everyone for the answers, I was wondering if I could use plan batting and it sounds like I can! Thanks again for your responses!

It is a batting/fleece - they sell it a Joanns Fabric

Yes, you can use plain batting inside. I use regular batting in mine. They turn out fine. :)

I have had the same problem. If you read the instructions on the wrapper it says to wash the fabric w/o fabric softener first so it will fuse. now i don't wash my purse fabric but with some effort i can get it to stick. It helps not to move the piece too much until it cools.

You might not have the setting righ on your iron. You shouldn't have any trouble getting the glue to activate. you can use regular batting, but you might need to quilt the layers to hold the batting in place, unless your pockets etc you apply does the quilting for you.

i love fusible Pellon fleece for bag making as you can just let your lovely fabric shine without distorting it with quilting. Once stuck it's pretty hardy.

They sell it at joanns and online, similar to battin g but fusible, I prefer the floriani one, but way more expensive

I had a problem with it fusing also, so I just quilted it into my fabric and it worked great. Batting (to me) does not give enought stiffness to the purse for me so I will stick with the fusible, or should we call it nonfusible LOL

I use plain batting as well, I spray baste it and I have never had problems. When the nearest sewing place is an hour away or more you make due lol.
