100-yard roll or 15-yard roll: which should I buy?

They are the same tape. The 100-yard roll is about 3,600" of tape, roughly 33 seams the length of a 108" queen batt, so it suits longarm quilters and anyone who joins batting on every quilt. The 15-yard roll covers about five queen-length seams and is the better choice for occasional use.

What iron setting should I use?

Settings matter more than anything else with this tape. A Teflon-plate iron fuses it on low cotton. Without a Teflon plate, use a low synthetic setting for 100% polyester batting and usually a wool setting for mixed synthetic battings. Press with an up-and-down motion until the glue sets, then finish with a light shot of steam with the iron held just above the tape. Test on scraps of your batting first.

How do I join two pieces of batting with it?

Trim both edges straight and butt them together without overlapping. Tack the tape over the seam with an up-and-down motion of the iron, then apply heat again, adding a little light steam to fully melt the glue backing. On a large batt, such as adding width to a 93" piece, lay weights on both sides to keep the edges from drifting apart while you press.

Can I quilt through the tape?

Yes. It is a soft, thin cloth tape that stays flexible and stretches with the batting, so it needles easily by hand or machine and does not leave a stiff ridge under your quilting.

Heat Press or a sheer polyester seam tape?

Heat Press is a soft cloth tape that stretches with the batting. Sheer polyester tapes such as Moda MI 107 have a permanent one-sided adhesive and are very light. Both quilt through easily; many longarmers like the give of the cloth tape on large, lofty batts.

The batting looks flat where I pressed. Did I ruin it?

No. Batting often looks flat right after you apply heat, then lofts back up as it cools. If it stays flat or feels crisp, your iron was too hot; drop the setting for the next seam.

This is the shop-size roll of HEAT Press Batting Together: 1-1/2" wide and 100 yards long. It is for longarm quilters and shops who join batting every week, piecing roll ends and trimmed strips into batts that fit a specific quilt rather than throwing them away.

Heat Press is a cloth tape developed to fuse batting, or batting and fabric, together to reach a specific size, to enlarge a piece or to reinforce it. It is soft, thin and needle-easy for hand or machine quilting. If you join batting only now and then, the 15-yard roll in white or the 10-yard roll in black is the easier buy.
