Wadding

[ding]

Hello everyone. I have been doing patchwork for about 3 years and have made several cushions and a beanbag, but I have only quilted a couple of items as I wasn't very good at it. I know practice makes perfect but I get frustrated. I am now making a quilt using my scraps which is 100% cotton can anyone advise me what wadding is best to use as I think this will help when I do my quilt as I go. Speak soon

I use Quilters Dream. It comes in a lot of weights and fiber contents. I get the thinner cotton because it's so hot here.

Re: Wadding

Quilters Dream is my favorite too. Love the drape and softness of it.

I use Hobbs 80/20 for everything. I knew when I saw the thread title "wadding" it must be someone from Europe.

I changed recently to Tuscany s 100% wool batting and I love it! It's lightweight but warm and it shows the quilting very good

Re: Wadding

Here is an excellent video describing different battings. It is very detailed.

Re: Wadding

I've used warm and natural cotton batting - it works decently well for a mainstream batting, and Joanns often puts it on sale.
I'm supposed to be getting some quilters' dream orient to play with... we'll see how it goes.
