Hobbs Heirloom Fusible Batting

[Slokarma]

I'm getting ready to use Hobbs Heirloom Fusible Batting for the first time. I'm using it for a small crib size quilt for my grandson.

Any opinions for or against? Anything different about this that I should know before I start?

Don't know anything about it, but please let me know how you like it.

I've never used it before, but was wondering something about using it. So here's another question to add to yours. It's fusible, I am assuming on both sides. Do you have to have both the top and back in place when you iron it to fuse it? I mean if you don't, what keeps it from sticking to the ironing board?

It's a full moon I think! My DH switched from 2nd shift to 3rd last wk and this wk, because of classes, he has to go in on 1st shift and tonight he has to go in at 2 am to work 4 hrs early than go to classes, no wonder I don't know what day it is..........let alone where my quilt top is!!!!!!!!!!!!

From what I've read and by touching it, yes it's fusible on both sides. It's a temp fuse. They suggest putting all three layers together and steam ironing from the middle out.

So far I've hung the ironed and starched backing on the wall, using the selvedge edge to keep it straight.....smoothed the batting flat over it, and it lays against it very nice.......and now if I COULD FIND THE TOP, I kid you not, I've lost the top of the quilt. What the heck! I brought it upstairs to show DH, folded it up nicely and went about my business........now I can't find it! What the heck?????!!!!!!!!! I'm losing my mind......LOL!

Thank goodness I had to pack his lunch tonight, because I found the quilt top in the pantry! Nicely folded, on a shelf. ( ok, that called for a head slap!)
