Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Pellon 987F Fusible Fleece and SF101 interfacing?

SF101 is a thin woven cotton interfacing designed to add structure to garment facings and quilt elements without adding bulk. 987F Fusible Fleece is thick and padded — it adds both structure and cushioning simultaneously. Use SF101 for garment and quilting applications; use 987F for bags, totes, and any project needing body plus padding.

What projects is Fusible Fleece most commonly used for in quilting?

Fusible Fleece is the standard stabilizer for quilted bags, tote bags, purses, tablet and book sleeves, Christmas stockings, placemats, and any soft goods project where you want structure and a padded feel in the finished item.

How do I apply Pellon 987F?

Place the rough (adhesive) side against the wrong side of your fabric. Press with a dry or steam iron, lifting and placing rather than sliding, for 10–15 seconds per section. Allow to cool before handling. The fleece should fuse firmly and not peel when cooled.

Can Fusible Fleece be quilted through?

Yes — one of the appeals of Fusible Fleece is that it can be quilted through to create a flat-quilted surface before constructing the bag or item. This adds the look of quilting along with the structural benefit of the fleece.

Is 10 yards enough for a bag sewing business?

The 10-yard bolt is economical for hobbyists and small-scale bag makers. High-volume producers may want to purchase multiple bolts. One standard tote bag uses approximately 0.5–1 yard of Fusible Fleece, so a 10-yard bolt provides 10–20 bag projects.
