How do I use Heirloom® Fusible batting?

Directions: Layer your quilt top, batting and backing. To fuse all three layers of your quilt at once, set your iron on a wool or cotton setting with steam. Simply press your quilt from the center to the outer edges. Be sure you keep your iron moving, pressing approximately 2-3 seconds in each area. This is only a temporary fuse. If you make a mistake or have a crease just simply lift the fabric and reapply the iron to fuse again. Once you have covered the entire surface area of your quilt, allow the quilt to cool. You may then begin quilting. You can fuse one side at a time but need to be careful because the exposed side of the batting will fuse to whatever it is touching.
