batting sticking together

[Anne B.]

I have a big question for the group. I had a bag of Harriett Hargrave batting in my closet for about 1 year. I got it out tonight and found that the plastic bag was stuck to the batting (had to cut the bag away to get the batting out), and that my batting was all stuck together. I got a good exercise of my arm muscles pulling the folds apart. This had never happened to me before. Why did the batting stick together? Is this batting ok to use?

Is it possibly the kind of batting that can be ironed to the fabric? If so, it may have gotten hot enough to make it stick to itself. Otherwise--I have never heard of this problem before.

Thanks.. I think you are right. I will cut off a section and see if it is a fusible batting. It might have gotten mislabeled.
I appreciate your help.

You are welcome. It was the only thing I could think that it might be.
