When pressed with a dry iron, it bonds to fabric — allowing you to fuse the batting to your quilt top or backing instead of pin basting or spray basting. The batting itself is identical in quality to standard Heirloom 80\/20.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do I use fusible batting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Place the fusible side against your quilt top or backing, press with a dry iron (no steam) at medium-high heat for several seconds per section. The fusible coating activates and creates a temporary bond that holds the quilt sandwich together for machine or longarm quilting without shifting or pin basting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is fusible batting appropriate for longarm machine quilting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes — many longarm studios use fusible batting to pre-bond the batting to the backing before loading, which can help prevent batting shifting during loading and quilting. Follow the longarm loading procedure appropriate for your specific machine and frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does the fusible coating affect the finished quilt's softness or hand?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: When properly applied, the fusible coating is minimal and does not noticeably affect the softness, drape, or hand of the finished quilt. After quilting and washing, the quilt feels like any other Heirloom 80\/20 cotton-poly batted quilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How far apart can I quilt Hobbs Fusible Heirloom?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The same as standard Heirloom 80\/20 — up to 4 inches apart. The fusible coating does not change the quilting distance recommendation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How many queen-size quilts does the 96\" x 30-yard roll provide?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: At 96\" wide and 30 yards long, expect approximately 10–12 queen-size batting cuts — excellent production value for studios that use fusible batting regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does fusible batting shrink when the finished quilt is washed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The same 3–5% first-wash shrinkage as standard Heirloom 80\/20 applies. The fusible coating does not prevent or increase cotton shrinkage behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use fusible batting with minky backing fabrics?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Use caution — fusible coatings require heat to activate, and minky (polyester) may not tolerate the heat required. Test on a small sample before committing to fusible batting with minky backing on a client's quilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What iron temperature should I use for Hobbs Fusible Heirloom batting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Use a medium-high dry iron setting. Always test on a corner section first and follow Hobbs' specific instructions for proper activation temperature and press time for this batting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is Hobbs Fusible Heirloom 96\" Wide Roll in stock at Linda's?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Check the current product listing for live availability.

Once you have covered the entire surface area of your quilt, allow the quilt to cool and check the back of your project to ensure it’s fully adhered and that there are no wrinkles or creases. Should you find wrinkles or creases, you can gently lift the fabric away from the batting, then smooth it back down and press it in place – you can make these adjustments 1-2 times before the fusing medium will no longer adhere the batting to the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease Note: We are unable to ship rolls of batting to Alaska, Hawaii or anywhere outside the 48 contiguous states.
