Review on 🧵 Enhance Your Sewing Projects with June Tailor JT 830 Fusible Batting! by Morgan Gilmore

This took a little getting used to as I normally use Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 melt batting. I've come to the conclusion that all the fusible links are very crumpled out of the box and you really need to flatten them out a bit before using them. Hobbs Fusible Cotton is much softer and more flexible than June's cotton and is easier to "handle" for instant straightening. This lash from June Tailor is much stiffer but a little less wrinkled at the beginning. This cotton says it should be steam wrung, but I didn't do it at first. I generally prefer dry ironing for reasons I won't go into here. However, I used this cotton on the applique wall. I started smoothing out the batting as much as possible and then made a quilt sandwich. I pressed the back first, then the front, starting in the middle and gently smoothing out as I came out. The result was a stiff, warped tapestry that seemed to snap in half when I folded it. Of course not, but that's my way of explaining how tough she was. I started quilting my tapestry and rescheduled the quilting to try to smooth out the warped areas. It worked a bit but the distortion was still there. It almost looked like a curved plate. Low in the middle and all edges are folded up. I could serve tortilla chips on the wall! Eventually I figured I'd go ahead and dampen them down. By then my appliqué had been securely sewn on and quilted. Result. MAGIC! I should have used steam first. Everything fitted together perfectly and even became a little less rigid. It reminded me of plastic windows. You know, weather protection? If you've used it before, you know that running a hair dryer over it will smooth out any deformed areas as if by magic. That's what the steam iron did. Any areas of my tapestry that should have been flat became flat, and any areas that were already flat stayed exactly the same. I entered the tapestry at our annual quilt show and got the blue ribbon! (photo shown). In summary, I explain the reason why I only gave four stars instead of five. Ultimately, I prefer working with the Hobbs. I like that it's more pliable and I don't have to use steam. All things considered, I feel like the Hobbs are just easier to work with. However, I will still use the Tailor brand as a last resort. You know, weather protection?
