Iron On Batting
#11
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.

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. :)

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.
