Top 10 Questions About Pellon 987F Fusible Fleece
Q: What is Pellon 987F Fusible Fleece used for?
A: 987F is a soft, padded interfacing used to add body, loft, and structure to bags, tote liners, placemats, pot holders, table runners, Christmas stockings, and any project where a padded, dimensional feel is desired. It is especially popular for quilted bag-making where structure and softness are both needed.
Q: How does Fusible Fleece differ from regular batting?
A: Fusible Fleece has a heat-activated adhesive on one side that bonds to fabric when pressed with a dry iron — eliminating the need for pinning or basting. Regular batting has no fusible coating and requires basting or quilting to hold it in place. Fusible Fleece is the choice when you want quick, secure batting adhesion without pins.
Q: What fabrics can Fusible Fleece bond to?
A: It bonds to most woven and knit fabrics, including quilting cotton, canvas, home décor fabrics, and most sewing fabrics. Always test on a fabric scrap first, particularly with heat-sensitive synthetics, before applying to your main project fabric.
Q: How do I apply Pellon 987F Fusible Fleece?
A: Place the fusible (adhesive) side against the wrong side of your fabric, cover with a press cloth, and press firmly with a dry iron at medium-high heat for 10–15 seconds per section. Allow to cool completely before handling.
Q: Does Fusible Fleece need to be pre-washed?
A: No pre-washing is required. Apply directly from the bolt for best adhesion results.
Q: Can Fusible Fleece be quilted through on a sewing machine?
A: Yes — once fused, 987F can be quilted through on a domestic sewing machine just like standard batting. It is not designed for high-speed longarm quilting but works well for domestic machine quilted bags and accessories.
Q: How wide is Pellon 987F Fusible Fleece?
A: 987F is 45" wide — standard quilting cotton width — making it easy to cut alongside fabric pieces on a standard cutting table.
Q: Is Pellon 987F Fusible Fleece washable in finished projects?
A: Yes — finished projects using 987F are machine washable. Wash on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat to maintain the fleece's loft and bonding integrity over time.
Q: How is 987F Fusible Fleece different from Pellon SF101 Shape-Flex or EK130 Easy-Knit interfacings?
A: SF101 and EK130 are woven and knit interfacings designed to stiffen and stabilize without adding loft. 987F adds soft, padded volume — choose 987F when you need both structure and a soft, dimensional feel in the finished project.
