Product Description
96" Hobbs Heirloom Premium Fusible 80/20 Cotton/Poly Blend Quilt Wadding
Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Fusible Cotton/Poly Blend Wadding is a double-sided, iron-on fusible product.
This product eliminates the need for the time-consuming basting of traditional pin- or spray-basting and enables you to create your quilt sandwich in no time at all!
This fusible cotton blend wadding is manufactured in the same manner as the Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 (Natural) Cotton Blend Batting – it is lightly bonded and needle-punched for exceptional strength and durability.
The fusible wadding has a temporary fusing medium applied to both sides of the wadding, enabling you to simultaneously adhere your quilt top and back to the batting in one quick pressing. The fusing medium is water-soluble - after the first wash, this batting becomes as soft and supple as the Heirloom Premium 80/20 batting.
The quilt top and back can be ironed on together or separately with a piece of parchment paper or a non-stick mat under the side which will NOT be fused.
To fuse this wadding to your fabric, set your dry iron (no steam) to the appropriate temperature for your fabric and press each area of the quilt, working from the center of the project to the outer edges. It is important that you don’t move the iron - you’re pressing NOT ironing! Press in each spot for approximately 5-7 seconds. Should you find wrinkles or creases, you can gently lift the fabric away from the wadding, 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.
This batting is wonderful to quilt by machine. Close quilting will yield a flat, low-loft appearance, while more space between stitching/quilting will yield a slightly higher loft.
Quilting/stitching should be every 4″ inches, or closer. Expect shrinkage of 3-5% once the finished project is laundered.
