The Hobbs FUSIBLE Heirloom Batting 96" Wide Batting Roll — 30 Yards is the roll-format version of Hobbs’s popular fusible 80/20 batting. The fusible coating on both sides allows the batting to bond directly to fabric layers with an iron, eliminating spray basting and pin basting. The 30-yard roll format is ideal for studios doing higher volumes of fusible-batting projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What projects benefit most from fusible batting in roll format?

The roll format is ideal for studios that regularly produce quilted garments, bags, and smaller quilts using the fusible technique. High-volume garment quilters, bag makers, and shops producing quilted items for sale find the roll format more economical than individual packages.

Can I use fusible batting on a longarm?

Fusible batting is less commonly used on longarms because fusing to the backing during loading makes adjustments difficult. For production longarm work, standard non-fusible batting is typically preferred. Fusible batting excels in domestic machine applications.

Does fusible batting add stiffness to the finished quilt?

The fusible adhesive adds minimal stiffness. After washing, the adhesive softens and the quilt drapes naturally. The finished feel is very similar to the same 80/20 batting without the fusible coating.

Can the fusible layer be activated multiple times?

Once fused, the adhesive is permanently activated. The batting should be positioned correctly before ironing, as repositioning after fusing is not possible.

What iron temperature is recommended for fusing?

Check the specific Hobbs Fusible instructions. A medium-high heat (cotton setting) without steam is typically used for most fusible battings. Always test on a sample before fusing the actual quilt.
