Hobbs Heirloom Fusible Batting -
The essential batting for T-Shirt Quilt ... As You Go!

I don't carry this in my store because it's bulky and I don't have the space for it in my NYC apartment! Connecting Threads usually offers the best price online. Click the "View on Connecting Threads" button to order it there. 

This double-sided fusible batting is essential for the quilting technique in my book  T-Shirt Quilt ... As You Go!, and is my all-around favorite batting!

It's Hobbs' Heirloom 80/20 Cotton/Polyester batting, with the addition of fusible fibers on both sides. It comes in two sizes: Queen (90" x 108") and Crib (45" x 60").

Being able to fuse the fabric to the batting prevents tucks and puckers on the backs of your quilts. Use it for making T-shirt quilts and it eliminates the need for stabilizer.  I love using it for the daily blocks in Free-Motion Mastery in a Month -- there are no pins to avoid and the blocks are more stable and manageable in the machine. 

The fusing offers a bit of stability while quilting. It is repositionable too! Its medium thickness makes it easier for beginning quilters to balance their stitch tension. And, the fusible fibers are designed to release once the quilt is finsihed, so you'll get a soft, drapey quilt. I have noticed no fumes when it is ironed.

I prefer this over a basting spray because I don't have an outdoor area to spray in.

Happy Quilting!
