Frequently Asked Questions

What does fusible actually replace?

Basting — pins, spray, and thread. Press the fusible face to top or backing and the sandwich holds itself for quilting; domestic quilters lose the crawl-on-the-floor step entirely.

Where does it help on a longarm?

Pre-bonding batting to backing before loading — the batting can't shift or fold during loading and advancing, a real gain on slippery or oversized jobs.

Does the coating survive in the finished quilt's hand?

Properly applied, it's undetectable after quilting and first wash — the quilt drapes like any Heirloom 80/20 job.

Activation technique?

Dry iron, medium-high, several seconds per section, test a corner first — steam and low heat both under-activate the bond.

Who should run the 30-yard roll?

Anyone basting weekly — studios offering baste-free service and prolific domestic quilters. Occasional users buy packaged fusible; the roll is for habit-level use.
