You sew it to your fabric rather than ironing it on. 987F Fusible Fleece bonds with a dry iron press for hands-free attachment before sewing. Choose 988 for heat-sensitive fabrics, when you want the fleece to remain repositionable before sewing, or when a fusible adhesive would create unwanted stiffness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What projects work best with Pellon 988 Sew-In Fleece?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Structured bags and totes, stuffed animals and soft toys, holiday ornaments and decorations, pillow covers requiring padded body, and any project where sewing rather than ironing the stabilizer into place provides better results or is required by the fabric type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How wide is Pellon 988 Sew-In Fleece?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: 45\" wide × 10 yards per bolt — the standard quilting cotton width, making cutting efficient alongside fabric pieces on a standard cutting table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is 988 the same thickness as 987F Fusible Fleece?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Both are similar in loft and body — the primary difference is the attachment method. 988 is slightly softer in hand because it lacks the fusible coating that slightly stiffens one face of 987F.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can Sew-In Fleece be used in bags alongside quilting cotton?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes — it is an excellent bag stabilizer for both quilting cotton and home décor fabric bags where a padded, structured body is needed.
