Hobbs Heirloom Premium Fusible 80/20 - 7.5 Metre Roll
If you make quilts regularly or love working on multiple projects at once, this 7.5 metre roll of Hobbs Heirloom Premium Fusible 80/20 is a studio essential. It combines the reliability and softness of Hobbs' popular cotton-poly blend with a clever heat-activated fusible coating, making basting faster and cleaner. Simply layer your quilt top and backing with the wadding in between, press lightly with a dry iron, and your sandwich is basted—no pins, spray, or shifting required!
The roll format gives you excellent flexibility and value, allowing you to cut exactly what you need for each project. Ideal for both machine and hand quilting, this low-loft wadding delivers a smooth finish with minimal bulk. It's needle punched with no scrim, so it handles beautifully and won't resist the needle. Once washed, the fusible coating disappears, leaving behind a soft and durable quilt layer that drapes beautifully and resists bearding. Whether you're working on charity quilts, commissions, or just quilting for fun—this roll is ready for anything.

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.
