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.
