Product Description
Hobbs Heirloom Premium Fusible 80/20 - Full (UK Double) Size
If you love the feel of cotton-rich wadding but dread the faff of basting, Hobbs Heirloom Premium Fusible 80/20 might just be your new favourite. This Full size cut combines all the softness and structure of the original Hobbs 80/20 blend with a clever, heat-activated fusible coating. It temporarily bonds your quilt layers together – no pins, clips, or spray needed – and washes out cleanly after quilting.
The result? A smooth, stable sandwich that's easier to handle whether you're stitching by machine or hand. With no scrim, the needle-punched fibres drape naturally and respond beautifully to detailed quilting. Ideal for double or full size bed quilts, this low-loft wadding adds just the right amount of warmth and texture without feeling bulky.

Fusing Instructions
If desired, the quilt top and back can be ironed on separately, or you may also choose to use only one side of the fusible batting, in which case a piece of parchment paper or a non-stick mat should be placed under the side which will NOT be fused so it doesn’t stick to the ironing surface.
To fuse the Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Fusible Cotton/Poly Blend Batting to your fabric, set your DRY iron to the appropriate temperature for your fabric (let it get nice and hot!) and press each area of the quilt, working from the center of the project to the outer edges – it’s important that you don’t move the iron, you’re pressing NOT ironing.
It’s also important that you use a dry iron, no steam – the fusing medium is water-soluble and if you get this batting wet, it won’t stick.
Press in each spot for approximately 5-7 seconds (test for adhesion by letting a pressed area cool before tugging on the fabric – if it’s adhered, continue; if it’s not, increase the amount of pressing time). Once you have covered the entire surface area of your quilt, allow the quilt to cool and check the back of your project to ensure it’s fully adhered and that there are no wrinkles or creases. Should you find wrinkles or creases, you can gently lift the fabric away from the batting, then smooth it back down and press it in place – you can make these adjustments 1-2 times before the fusing medium will no longer adhere the batting to the fabric.
