Fusible Batting at Roll Scale
The Hobbs FUSIBLE Heirloom 96-inch Wide Batting Roll extends the fusible batting concept to full roll-format production. While the fusible package format is ideal for individual quilts, the 30-yard fusible roll serves studios and prolific home quilters who use fusible batting regularly enough to benefit from roll-format economics and convenience. Same 80/20 Heirloom construction, same heat-activated adhesive on both batting faces -- just at production scale.
Who Needs Fusible Batting in Roll Format
The fusible roll is for quilters doing consistent volume with fusible batting for a specific workflow. Studios offering quilt-as-you-go services, teachers who use fusible batting in classes regularly, and home quilters who have adopted fusible batting as their standard basting method for domestic machine quilting all benefit from the roll format's per-yard economics and elimination of mid-project package purchasing. If you are buying fusible batting packages multiple times per season, the roll format is a cost and convenience upgrade worth considering.

How the Fusible Roll Differs From the Package
Performance is identical -- same adhesive, same Heirloom batting, same fusing process and results. The roll simply provides more continuous yardage for cutting flexibility and better per-yard economics. The roll format requires storage space and cutting equipment (a straight edge and sharp rotary cutter or Linda's Batting Scissors) that the pre-cut package does not. The tradeoff is straightforward: more work in cutting, better economics and flexibility in use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the fusible batting roll fuse to both the top and backing?
Yes -- Hobbs Fusible Heirloom has adhesive on both surfaces, bonding to both the quilt top and backing when pressed from both sides.
Is the fusible roll safe for longarm machines?
Fusible batting is primarily designed for domestic machine quilting. Loading fusible batting bonded to a backing on a longarm frame creates a different loading dynamic than floating free batting. Standard non-fusible batting is preferred for most longarm applications. Consult your machine manufacturer's guidance before using fusible batting on a longarm.
How should I store the fusible batting roll?
Store upright or on its side in a cool, dry location. Do not store near heat sources, which could partially activate the adhesive. Keep away from humidity that could reduce adhesive performance.
