Product Information

Full details

Vilene Vlieseline 272 Thermolam Batting is designed for crafters undertaking patchwork, quilting, soft furnishings, and clothing projects seeking to add dimension and warmth. Its key benefit is providing a compressed, medium-volume fleece that maintains softness while offering structure, making it an excellent alternative to traditional wadding. A potential caveat is its specific washability limit, requiring care at temperatures up to 30°C.

FAQs

What is Vilene Vlieseline 272 Thermolam Batting Wadding used for?

It is used for adding dimension and body to patchwork and quilting projects, as well as for craft items, soft furnishings, and clothing. It serves as an alternative to traditional wadding or batting.

How do I attach this batting to my project?

You simply place the Thermolam underneath your fabric layers and sew them together as you would normally. It integrates easily into the sewing process.

Can I wash my finished project made with Thermolam?

Yes, items made with Vilene Thermolam 272 can be washed at temperatures up to 30°C. It is also dry cleanable.

Will this batting make my project stiff?

No, despite being a compressed volume fleece, it is designed to remain soft even when quilted, offering structure without stiffness.

What is the material of this product?

The material is 100% polyester.

Is this suitable for making warm winter quilts?

While it adds volume and dimension, it is a medium-volume fleece and might not provide the highest level of insulation for very warm winter quilts compared to thicker, specialized batting.

How is the price based? Per metre or by roll?

The price applies to 1 metre of the Thermolam.

Troubleshooting

Uneven quilting stitches.

Ensure the Thermolam is laid flat and not stretched during sewing. Check sewing machine tension and needle type for the fabric being used.

Fleece feels too compressed after washing.

Avoid high wash temperatures and prolonged spin cycles. Gently reshape the fleece after washing while damp and allow it to air dry flat.

Wadding is shifting during sewing.

Baste or temporarily secure the Thermolam to the fabric layers using pins or a basting spray before beginning to sew. For larger projects, consider quilting smaller sections at a time.
