Frequently Asked Questions
- 988 or 987F — the fleece decision?
- Attachment method: fusible for speed and baste-free stability on iron-safe cottons; sew-in for velvets, laminates, vinyls, and synthetics the iron would ruin — and for makers who want repositioning room until the seam commits.
- Why is sew-in the toy-making fleece?
- Softness — without the adhesive face, 988 stays fully supple, so stuffed animals and softies read huggable rather than board-backed; and toy fabrics (minky, fleece) are exactly the heat-sensitive class fusibles can't touch.
- The wash-longevity angle?
- No adhesive means no bond to fatigue — on hard-laundered items (kids' bags, pillow covers) sew-in survives wash counts that eventually delaminate fusibles.
- Construction workflow?
- Cut fleece to panel size, baste inside the seam allowance or catch in the seams, quilt or leave plain — the placement stays adjustable until the needle says otherwise.
- Same loft as the fusible?
- Effectively — comparable padded body; the hand difference is the missing coating, not the fleece itself.
