Hobbs FUSIBLE Heirloom Batting 96in Wide Roll 30 Yards
The Hobbs FUSIBLE Heirloom Batting 96" Wide Batting Roll — 30 Yards is the roll-format version of Hobbs’s popular fusible 80/20 batting. The fusible coating on both sides allows the batting to bond directly to fabric layers with an iron, eliminating spray basting and pin basting. The 30-yard roll format is ideal for studios doing higher volumes of fusible-batting projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What projects benefit most from fusible batting in roll format?
- The roll format is ideal for studios that regularly produce quilted garments, bags, and smaller quilts using the fusible technique. High-volume garment quilters, bag makers, and shops producing quilted items for sale find the roll format more economical than individual packages.
- Can I use fusible batting on a longarm?
- Fusible batting is less commonly used on longarms because fusing to the backing during loading makes adjustments difficult. For production longarm work, standard non-fusible batting is typically preferred. Fusible batting excels in domestic machine applications.
- Does fusible batting add stiffness to the finished quilt?
- The fusible adhesive adds minimal stiffness. After washing, the adhesive softens and the quilt drapes naturally. The finished feel is very similar to the same 80/20 batting without the fusible coating.
- Can the fusible layer be activated multiple times?
- Once fused, the adhesive is permanently activated. The batting should be positioned correctly before ironing, as repositioning after fusing is not possible.
- What iron temperature is recommended for fusing?
- Check the specific Hobbs Fusible instructions. A medium-high heat (cotton setting) without steam is typically used for most fusible battings. Always test on a sample before fusing the actual quilt.
