The 2” batting tape from Callie Del® is the perfect solution for joining two or more pieces of batting together on your larger quilts. This lightweight stabilizer won’t gum up your machine, or add bulk to your project.
• Machine quilting – easily add a piece of batting to a project where needed.
• Hand quilting – soft enough you won’t even notice when needling through.
• Stabilize seams, bias edges, and straight hems.
• Reinforce edges of bags, tote bag handles, and other craft projects.
• Works with all batting types. Protect your work surface accordingly.
Use Instructions:
Note* It is always recommended to test the product on a scrap piece from your project before applying to the entire piece so you can adjust pressing times and heat as needed.
1. Preheat your iron to a medium or wool setting with no steam.
2. If using scraps of batting, it’s best to overlap their edges by a few inches and cut a wavy line through both pieces at the same time. Discard the scraps, and smooth the batting back together before applying batting tape.
3. For best results, try to keep the newly cut edges no less the 1/2in from the edges of the tape.
4. Place the rough side – or glue side – against the batting. Cover with a light pressing cloth, or Teflon sheet. Press and hold the iron in place for 8-10 seconds. Repeat by lifting the iron and placing it over the next area, slightly overlapping the first until the entire line is bonded together.
5. Allow to cool before testing adhesion, and repeat pressing if necessary.
6. Proceed with quilting to complete project.
