Is this product iron on? Would it be suitable for quilting?

We have just added Fuse 'N Tear fusible (iron on) tearaway to our Amazon offerings.

Hi Sam, This is not an iron on product and is used as an embroidery backing that tears cleanly after an item has been embroidered. It has a paper feel and is 1.8 oz. You may want to try a cutaway backing which has a much softer feel or a soft tearaway not firm.

Hi Matt, I am not that far on my quilt to know for sure. But I am planning on using it with my machine. It looks like the person in the picture shown using in it is using a regular sewing machine. So when I get this far with my quilt I will be winging it. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I purchased this iron for quilting but so far have only ironed clothes with it. My previous irons were inexpensive

It's not that soft. It's pretty thin too. I used it to make bumper covers for my son's crib. But for a quilt it probably wouldn't last very long

I'm a quilter and love it! Not to worry, it's not too much steam. And you can adjust it if you want, although I always use it full strength. Just remember (as with any iron) to press, not iron, your blocks open.

The best way to iron a quilt is to hold the iron just on the surface if the fabric without putting the full weight of the iron down. Hit the burst of steam in the corners or on tough wrinkled areas.

I understand your problem. This iron is superior at all the temps, with or without steam and with double steam. It had been 20 years since I purchased an iron. I consulted Consumer Reports; it rated this iron as the best available. The only place I could find one was Amazon; none were available in any stores within a 50 mile radius. I would recommend it to you for ironing at any temperature. As a seamstress, I find it perfect for fusables as well as sheers, velvets, cottons, denim, and paper patterns.

Frankly I wouldn't buy a rowenta again. There are better travel irons out there for quilting. Sunbeam puts out a travel iron that is solid , it seems to be the hot item amongst quilters. My sister can't keep them on the shelf at her quilt store. There are less piece's to break because its a solid piece and does everything you need for quilting. Good luck

I have the same problem. After reading the previous answer, I will try his suggestion. Mostly I use it for quilting so do more up and down motion on seams rather than a lot of actual ironing.

It has been a great iron for me. Very strong steam power for setting seams when quilting.

I got mine to use as an ironing station next to my sewing machine so I could easily press quilt blocks without having to race back and forth to the ironing board. Seems like it should work ok.

I don't know much about machine quilting as I use a 1950's Singer featherweight machine for piecing and then do all quilting by hand. I suppose if you can use a hoop type frame that this would be similar. I use this frame for quilting and other hand needlework.

Yes...in am quilting on it. Not a huge amount of space but works very well for me.

I would guess-2 to 2 1/2 lbs. It is heavy enough to press patchwork pieces for a quilt without being as heavy as the full size iron. It also have a good point at the end to help with pressing patchwork squares.

I wouldn't. I'm an experienced quilter and work in a quilt shop. For general machine Applique I would recommend Pellon wonder under (not heavy duty), misty fuse or steam a seam. It is a little less gummy for your needle and far less expensive. I use this to transfer hand embroidery designs onto fabric with my printer or copier. Good product but not right for what you are going to do in my humble opinion. Have fun!

HI! I've never tried to iron these considering they are so cheap (yet extremely durable). I can't remember what its made of, but it may withstand an iron.
