Fusible Wadding, Heirloom premium 80/20

  • Made with 80% natural cotton and 20% fine polyester
  • Natural coloured, lightly needlepunched and lightly spray bonded to provide exceptional strength and durability
  • Fusible on both sides eliminating the need for pinning or tacking saving the quilter time and effort.
  • Shrinks less than other cotton battings (approximately 3-5%) and has a little more loft (approx. 1/8″).
  • Made for hand or machine quilting. Quilt up to 4″ apart

Heirloom® Fusible, if prewashed, will be rendered non-fusible. When washed, the product becomes similar to Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Cotton batting.

If desired, the quilt top and back can be ironed on separately or at the same time. Simply press your quilt from the center to the outer edges. Move your iron lightly from place to place pressing approximately 3-4 seconds in each area. Once you have covered the entire surface area of your quilt, allow the quilt to cool. You may then begin quilting by hand or machine.

Fusible 80/20 wadding should be used with medium or dark fabrics. If used with light colored fabrics, unbleached cotton can slightly darken white and pastel colors. It is wonderful to quilt by hand or machine. Close quilting yields a flat low loft appearance while more space between stitching lines yields a slightly higher loft. You may experience shrinkage of 3-5% and it may be quilted up to 4” apart.
