Hobbs Heirloom Fusible Batting STRIPS
Heirloom Premium 80/20 Fusible Cotton/Poly Blend Batting STRIPS
Our Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Fusible Cotton/Poly Blend Batting Strips are designed to be user-friendly for creating bags, totes, rugs, and various sewn projects without the need for pinning or clipping. The 2 1/4″ width of these strips matches perfectly with 2 1/2″ fabric strips, ensuring the batting won't poke out.
Hobbs Heirloom® 80/20 Fusible Batting Strips come with a water-soluble adhesive on both sides. This adhesive allows for easy attachment of fabric to the batting strips in a single press. Because the adhesive is water-soluble, these batting strips regain their softness comparable to our Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 (Natural) Cotton/Poly Blend Batting when the finished project is washed.
Directions:
To fuse the Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Fusible Cotton/Poly Blend Batting Strips to your fabric, set your DRY iron to the appropriate temperature for your fabric and let your iron get nice and hot.
Then, press your fabric strips onto your batting strips (without moving the iron while pressing!).DO NOT use steam in your iron – remember, the fusing medium is water soluble and if you get the strips wet they 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 pressed your fabric to the batting strips, allow your paired strips to cool completely. Should you find wrinkles or creases, you can gently lift the fabric away from the batting, then smooth it back down and again press it in place – you can make these adjustments 1-2 times before the fusing medium will no longer adhere the fabric strips to the batting strips.
Pre-washing is not recommended for this or any of our other quality batting products.
