986F Lightweight Fusible Fleece
Pellon 986F Lightweight Fusible Fleece is a one-sided fusible fleece that adds a layer of softness, body, and stability to home decorating, craft and apparel sewing. No Pinning! No Basting! No Sewing! Can be fused to fabric, cardboard, or wood. It is completely sewing machine safe.
Most of our products have either a dot adhesive or a spray adhesive. The dot adhesive is on the rough side, where you can usually see the dot. The spray adhesive is the shiny side. When in doubt, take a small sample and test it covering both sides with a paper towel or fabric so you can ensure that you do not make any fusing mistakes.
Tips:
-For a light bond: With iron at Wool/Steam setting, iron fabric in place. For most applications, this should hold the fleece for easy handling while the project is stitched.
-For an extra-strong bond: Cover fleece and fabric with a thin, damp press cloth. With the iron at Wool/Steam setting press in place for 10-15 seconds. Repeat, overlapping iron until entire area is fused.
-For additional loft, use more than one layer of fleece.

Always pre-test with a swatch of your fabric prior to use to make sure it is compatible with the fusible. It is recommended to pre-wash all fabrics to remove any coatings that might interfere with the fusible. Do not use fabric softener.
