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.
