For any of you who have used fusible batting (or who may know someone who has and you can ask that person for me), I am wondering what method is used if you are making something larger than a small wall-hanging? I know the fusible comes even in king-sized (which I'd not be making anything THAT big), but I'm just wondering how you handle something maybe throw-sized....to get it put together and ironed (fused) without it getting "messed up" in the process? I'm thinking maybe you first sandwich it and then roll it up and only unroll a little bit at a time??? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I am considering buying some and want to know, beforehand, how to handle the ironing SMOOTHLY for a larger-than-wall-hanging quilt. I bought some samples at the quilt show of Hobbs' fusible, but no instructions were included.
NOTE: Just got a reply from Hobbs....here is what I was told: Our fusible is designed to have all three layers fused at once. You will want your iron on “cotton” setting and steam seams to help but is not required.
This is a picture of a wall-hanging I love. This year, he is not on the wall...but draped over a little piece of furniture in my living room. (He still needs more hand-quilting, but I use him anyway). He comes out around Easter but stays out longer since his fruits and veggies are suitable for spring and summer, don't you agree? I believe this was a pattern in Quiltmaker magazine a few years back. (If I'd make labels for every quilt, we might know for sure!!! LOL)
