Product Description
Heirloom Premium Fusible 80/20 – Cut to Length
Hobbs Heirloom Premium Fusible 80/20 Cotton Blend is a clever solution for quilters looking to skip the spray and speed up the basting process. Made with 80% cotton and 20% polyester, this low-loft wadding is needle punched and lightly bonded—but with no scrim. It features a heat-activated fusible resin on both sides, allowing you to temporarily baste your quilt top, wadding, and backing together simply by pressing with an iron.
It offers the same soft feel and breathability as the popular Hobbs 80/20, but with the added bonus of quicker, pin-free assembly. Once basted, it can be stitched by hand, machine, or longarm, and washes out to leave the wadding soft and secure in your finished quilt. Ideal for small projects, repairs, appliqué, and anyone who finds traditional basting a bit of a faff!

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.
