Pellon Thermolam Plus Sew-In Fleece Stabilizer 45in x 10 Yards
The Pellon Thermolam Plus Sew-In Fleece Stabilizer — 45" x 10 Yards is a thick, lofty sew-in (non-fusible) fleece batting substitute. Unlike fusible fleece, Thermolam Plus is sewn into bag and accessory projects through seam allowances and quilting — ideal for any project where heat cannot be used to fuse the stabilizer, such as vinyl-exterior bags or other heat-sensitive materials.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why choose sew-in over fusible fleece?
- For heat-sensitive exterior fabrics (vinyl, faux leather, PUL) where an iron cannot be used, sew-in Thermolam Plus is the appropriate choice. It provides the same padded loft as fusible fleece without requiring heat application.
- Is Thermolam Plus the same as Pellon 820 Fusible Fleece?
- Thermolam Plus is the sew-in version; 820 is the fusible version. Both provide similar padded loft — the difference is application method only.
- How is Thermolam Plus used in bags?
- Cut to shape, layer against the wrong side of the bag exterior panel, and sew together along all seam allowances. The seam allowances trap the Thermolam Plus in place; no fusing required.
- Can Thermolam Plus be quilted through?
- Yes — machine quilting through Thermolam Plus and bag exterior creates a padded, quilted bag panel.
- Is Thermolam Plus machine washable in finished projects?
- Yes — check care instructions for the complete project. Thermolam Plus itself is machine washable on gentle cycle.
