Quilt
Magic
Enjoy
the softness and flexibility of this super light, fusible
quilt batting/fleece. Now you can create "non-bulk"
quilted garments such as jackets and vests that drape and
move freely with your body. Construction of home décor
items such as pillows and table runners will be elegant
and perfect! The fusible feature of this lofty fleece will
make all your quilts and quilted items come together much
easier. Quilt your project as random as you like, the fusing
will help to eliminate puckering and will hold the fleece
together, even through launderings!
Prepping
your fabric and fusible fleece:
- If
using a fabric that has a risk of shrinkage, it is advised
to pre-shrink the fabric by pre-washing.
- Pre-
shrink Quilt Magic fusible fleece by gently steaming
the non-fusible side with steam just before pressing
it to the fabric.
- Try
something fun and different!! If
your goal is to have an antiquated looking quilt, do
not pre-wash or pre-shrink your fabric and/or fusible
fleece. When washed in warm water the fabric will slightly
draw around the fused fleece creating a very unique
quilted look. This technique works beautifully with
redwork designs on premium quilt cotton.
Fusing Quilt
Magic to Fabric:
Fuse
the shiny, textured side of Quilt Magic to the back of the
fabric using a Medium setting on your iron or press. Steam
is not necessary but will not harm the fleece if you use
it while pressing the item. Be sure your iron touches the
fabric, NOT the fleece. Use a press cloth if necessary.
**Remember that steam will
cause slight shrinkage in your fleece and fabric. Prep your
materials by pre-shrinking if this is not your overall goal
for the piece you are working on.
**Just
like traditional quilt batting, it is also recommended to
cut Quilt Magic at least one inch larger than your fabric
piece and then trim to size once it is fused in to place.
**Because
all irons vary in temperature settings, start at a lower
setting when fusing the fabric to fleece and gradually increase
the heat setting until you get a good fuse!
