Fusible Warm Fleece 1® One-Sided Fusible Polyester Fleece – Full Case
Add soft dimension, loft, and customizable structure to sewing, quilting, bag-making, and craft projects with Fusible Warm Fleece 1®. This versatile one-sided fusible polyester fleece combines soft batting with dependable Steam-A-Seam® fusible adhesive, allowing the fleece to bond directly to compatible fabrics with heat.
Designed to simplify project assembly, Fusible Warm Fleece 1® helps hold fabric layers in place while sewing or quilting. The fusible surface can reduce the need for traditional basting spray while helping minimize shifting, folds, and wrinkles between layers.
What makes Fusible Warm Fleece 1® especially versatile is its ability to create different levels of structure. A quick, gentle pass with a steam iron creates a soft, flexible, and pliable bond that's ideal for projects such as soft books and quilted accessories. Applying additional steam and pressure can create a firmer, more structured result for projects such as stand-up totes, bags, baskets, and dimensional crafts.
Made from 100% polyester fiber, this fleece weighs approximately 6 oz. per square yard and is designed to resist shrinking while maintaining its soft feel after machine washing and drying.
The full-case format makes this product an excellent choice for quilt shops, sewing and craft retailers, bag makers, quilting studios, classrooms, professional makers, and frequent sewists who regularly use fusible fleece.
