hobbies and interests needleworkHow do you use Quilters Dream fusible batting?
Considering this, can you use fusible fleece for quilting?
The fusible fleece will not take as high a heat setting as your cotton fabric. I use fusible fleece for most of my art quilts/ wall hangings and it works great, no gummy neeedles, quilts very easily. The way I would do it is to fuse it to the backing fabric, then pin or spray baste the top on.
Similarly one may ask, what Batting do you use for placemats?
All the battings below work well for placemats and table runners - so it will be up to you to decide on which one is best for you.
- Cotton / Polyester Blend (such as Hobbs Heirloom 80% cotton, 20% polyester)
- Fusible Cotton / Polyester Blend (such as Hobb's Fusible)
- Pellon Fusible Fleece.
Fusible interfacing will give a little stiffness to collars and cuffs on shirts. Fusible fleece is often used as the batting when making vests, tablerunners, or placemats. The fusible fleece gives the item a little thickness helping any quilting texture to show nicely without the bulk of regular quilt batting.
