Pellon 987F Fusible Fleece 45in x 10 Yards White

The Pellon 987F Fusible Fleece — 45" x 10 Yards White is a lofted fusible fleece that combines the thickness and padding of fleece with the convenience of iron-on application. Unlike Thermolam Plus (sew-in), 987F fuses directly to fabric with a single iron press — making it the fastest method for adding padded body to bags, table runners, placemats, and home décor projects.

Top 10 Questions About Pellon 987F Fusible Fleece

What is the difference between 987F fusible fleece and Thermolam Plus sew-in?: 987F has fusible adhesive on one side for iron-on application; Thermolam Plus has no adhesive and must be sewn in place. For projects where speed of application is important and the fabric can accept iron heat, 987F is faster. For heat-sensitive fabrics or projects with heavy stitching through layers, sew-in Thermolam Plus may be more appropriate.
What projects is 987F best suited for?: Quilted table runners and placemats, padded pot holders, bags and totes requiring padded structure, Christmas stockings, holiday ornaments, and any project where padded loft is needed with quick iron-on application.
How is 987F applied?: Place the fusible side against the wrong side of the fabric, press with a steam iron at medium heat for several seconds per section. Allow to cool before handling. Follow current Pellon application instructions for specific temperatures.
Is 987F washable?: Yes — Pellon fusible fleece is designed to survive laundering when properly applied.
How does 987F compare to Pellon 820 Fusible Quilter’s Grid?: 987F is a solid fleece providing smooth, uniform padding. Pellon 820 is a fusible grid for quilting reference lines. They are entirely different products for different applications.
What is the 45" width useful for?: 45" accommodates standard quilting cotton width, allowing fusible fleece to be applied to full fabric widths without piecing for table runner and placemat production.
Is 987F appropriate for bag construction?: Yes — for bags where fusible application is preferred over sew-in stabilizer, 987F provides padded body. For maximum structure, Soft and Stable or Flex-Foam provides more rigidity.
Does 987F work with a longarm machine for quilted table runners?: Smaller projects can be quilted on a longarm after using 987F as the batting substitute. The fused construction provides consistent loft without batting movement.
Is the 10-yard bolt economical for production use?: Yes — 10 yards provides generous project inventory for table runner and placemat production at good per-yard economy.
Can 987F be used for pot holder production?: Yes — multiple layers of 987F provide the padded insulation appropriate for pot holders. For maximum heat resistance, Insul-Bright is the appropriate primary insulating material.
