| What is Quilter’s Fusible Batting™? | |||||||||
June Tailor’s Quilter’s
Fusible Batting™ is a high quality quilt batting that contains
a fusible web. The fusible on the batting allows you to press all
three layers of your quilt at one time! Quilter’s Fusible
Batting™ eliminates the need for quilt basting sprays, pins
or tacks. You can fuse your quilt in a fraction of the time with
beautiful, professional looking results. |

| How do I use Quilter’s Fusible Batting™? | |||||||||
| When using June Tailor’s Quilter’s
Fusible Batting, it is important to layer your quilt top, batting
and back before beginning to fuse. To fuse all three layers of your
quilt at once, set your iron on a wool setting with heavy steam. Simply
press your quilt from the center to the outer edges. Make sure you
keep your iron moving, pressing approximately 3-4 seconds in each
area. Once you have covered the entire surface area of your quilt,
allow the quilt to cool. You may then begin quilting by hand or machine.
To fuse one side at a time, we recommend layering your quilt top,
batting and back before beginning to fuse. Your iron should be set
on a wool setting; however, this time you will not use steam. You
will press your quilt from the center to the outer edges. Keep your
iron moving and press approximately 3-4 seconds in each area. Once
you have covered the entire surface area of your quilt, allow the
quilt to cool. You will then turn your quilt over and repeat the
pressing process on the other side of your quilt. Once you have
covered the entire surface area of the second side, allow the quilt
to cool. You may then begin quilting by hand or machine. |

| How do I reposition my Quilter’s Fusible Batting™? | |||||||||
| To reposition the Quilter’s Fusible
Batting™, simply reheat the area that is to be repositioned,
with or without steam. Once the area is thoroughly heated, gently
peel the fabric away from the batting, pull the fabric in the desired
direction and immediately lay the fabric back onto batting, smoothing
with your hands. You can then reheat the surface with or without steam
to re-adhere your fabric to the fusible batting. Allow to cool. Back To Questions |

| Where is the best place to fuse my quilt? | |||||||||
You can fuse your quilt using June Tailor’s
Quilter’s Fusible Batting™ on your ironing board or
any other pressing surface that is large enough to hold your quilt.
Please be mindful that the surface you choose to fuse your quilt
on can withstand the heat and steam of an iron. June Tailor is not
responsible for damage to a surface that is not meant for pressing. |
|||||||||
| How far apart can my stitches be when using Quilter’s Fusible Batting™? | |||||||||
| When using June Tailor’s Low Loft
Polyester or High Loft Polyester Fusible Batting™ you can quilt
as far apart as 4” to 6” or as close together as you desire.
When using June Tailor’s Cotton Fusible Batting, we recommend
quilting as far apart as 3” to 5”, or as close together
as you desire. Back To Questions |
|||||||||
| Will the Quilter’s Fusible Batting™ shrink when washed? | |||||||||
| The Cotton Fusible Batting is preshrunk.
If any shrinkage would occur, it would be a minimum of 2% to 3%. You
should not experience any shrinkage with our Low Loft or High Loft
Polyester Fusible Batting. Back To Questions |
|||||||||
| The polyester Quilter’s Fusible Batting feels stiff. Will it soften over time? | |||||||||
| The Low Loft and High Loft Polyester Fusible
Battings can feel stiff at first. This is because the batting contains
a fusible, which is holding your quilt layers together. Once you have
finished your quilt, you can rinse it in cold water. The rinsing process
removes the fusible in the batting, softening your quilt. The fusible
can remain in your quilt if you would like your quilt to have more
body. You would simply not rinse your quilt in cold water to keep
the fusible active. Back To Questions |

your quilt layers together so they will not shift as you stitch. Back To Questions |
