The quilt that I used fusible batting for because the sashing fabric was
not stable enough to easily quilt otherwise is home now.

The quilting went fine, and the stiffness washed out; it feels like any
other quilt now.

I'd use it again in the same situation.

I wouldn't use it regularly because I don't like the feel of polyester,
but that's unrelated to the "fusible" part!

Martha,

I think I've used a June Tailor cotton fusible batting (or at least
80/20). I'm almost sure
I got it at Joann's or Hancock's.

I remember trying it out on a wall hanging (40x40) at the suggestion
of a friend.
I really liked it specifically because of the stiffness...no chance of
puckers on the back, and the
quilting was really easy - you could almost fold the quilt (like
cardboard) and it stayed in place.
I don't know if I'd bother on a much larger quilt (I usually send
those to a
longarm quilter), but I was happy with the experience.

I use fusible batting a lot. I use Hobbs Heirloom that I buy at a LQS. I
used it on 2 almost twin size quilts for my grandchildren. I didn't intend
for them to be that big, but I got carried away, lol. The grandkids loved
them because they were so big, and they could hide under them. I have also
used it on coasters and place mats. The stiffness washes out, and feels
like anything else.
