I received a free sample of this stuff in a bag from Pellon during the schoolhouse session Pellon hosted.
Here is what it looks like-
It comes on this little roll--rough on one side (where the goo is- put this side down on your batting) and smooth on the other ( where you put your iron!) Don't mix these up! :-)
You butt your two pieces of batting together and lay the tape down down the middle. Press with a WARM ( Medium heat-not super hot!) iron all the way down the pieces. I check it after a few minutes (once it is cooled down) to see if the glue attached well.
Bingo! You have a useful piece of batting now!
The first time I tried this I had my iron on at full blast and I had a terrible time with this stuff. I only tried it again because several people I know swear by it and economically I would like to make use of these long pieces of batting I have leftover from quilts.
Try number two with an iron only heated to its medium setting yielded flawless performance for the fusible tape.
Live and learn!
That's cool. could be useful in my future
