Fusible fleece vs Pellon 987F: how do they compare?

Both are one-sided fusible polyester fleeces with low loft for bags, placemats and crafts. Pellon 987F is a known standard in 22" x 36" and 45" x 60" packages and 10-yard bolts; this fleece is a 45" x 72" piece. If a pattern names 987F, either will do the job; use the size that wastes the least.

Fusible fleece or foam for a bag?

Fleece gives a soft, padded hand and some body but the bag will still slump. For a bag that stands on its own, use a foam stabilizer such as Pellon Flex-Foam or Bosal foam.

Can I use fusible fleece as quilt batting?

For small projects such as placemats, runners and wall hangings, yes; it adds a little loft and skips basting. For a bed quilt choose a fusible batting made for quilts, such as Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 Fusible.

Is fusible fleece safe for hot pads or the microwave?

No. Polyester fleece is not microwave-safe and is not a heat barrier. Use Insul-Bright with cotton batting for hot pads, and 100% cotton with no scrim for microwave bowl cozies.

Which side is fusible?

One side carries the adhesive; it usually feels slightly rough or beaded. Place that side against the wrong side of your fabric, press with an iron and let it cool before handling.

Single Sided Light Fusible Fleece is a 4oz, low-loft polyester fleece with fusible adhesive on one side, cut 45" x 72". It gives a slightly padded look and soft body to bags, garments, placemats and quilted crafts, and it fuses in place with an iron, so there is no basting.

It is needle-punched 100% polyester. Two yards is enough to interface the panels of a few bags or a set of placemats with room to spare.
