Description
Moldable Batting is a heat-activated fabric that gives rigidity to tote bags and craft projects. Use heat to shape it, and it holds that shape once it cools, so it is the material for bowls, baskets, trees and other three-dimensional pieces as well as bag bodies that need to stand up. This piece is 18" x 45".
It is 100% polyester, cuts easily and will not fray, so raw edges stay clean. It is mildew resistant, dyeable and machine washable. The same material, sized for the Poorhouse Quilt Designs Tabletop Tannenbaums pattern, is sold as Tabletop Tannenbaums Moldable Batting.

- What is moldable batting used for?
- Projects that need to hold a 3D shape: fabric bowls, baskets, Christmas trees, boxes and bag bodies that stand up. Heat softens it so you can shape it, and it stays put when it cools.
- Moldable batting vs Bosal heat moldable stabilizer: what is the difference?
- Both are shaped with heat. Bosal Heat Moldable is a stiff, sew-in non-woven sold 20" x 36", for hats, costumes, boxes and handbags. This moldable batting is an 18" x 45" heat-activated polyester that gives rigidity to totes and craft projects. Bosal Heat Moldable 20" x 36"
- Will the edges fray?
- No. It cuts cleanly and will not fray, so you can leave edges raw on craft pieces or bind them for a finished look.
- Can I wash a project made with it?
- Yes. It is machine washable and mildew resistant. Reshape the piece while it is damp if it relaxes in the wash.
- Can I use it for a microwave bowl cozy?
- No. It is 100% polyester and heat-activated, so it should never go in the microwave. For microwave bowl cozies use Pellon Wrap-N-Zap with cotton fabric and cotton thread. Pellon Wrap-N-Zap
