Join Carmen Geddes to learn everything you need to know about different types of batting. Carmen explains the attributes of each and how to decide which one (or two) to use in your project.
This is the best video I have seen about batting and the uses of it. Your recomendations are rich in knowlege. I do apriciate it. Now I understand more on these matter. I appreciate you and highly recomend. Everybody who have questions or need more information on how to select the best batting for their projects shall see this video. It is a jewel. Thank you very much. Tx?PR💔💔💔
Great explanations, would love to see quilts that have used the different batting’s, to see the drape, and the “poof” as you called it around appliqué blocks. Thanks
You really need to consider the frequency of fibers. And how this frequencies effect the human body. There have been many scientific studies in this subject. ❤❤❤
Thank you. Wonderful explanations and appreciate seeing the samples. Ready for batting on my first full size quilt and wasn't sure what to use. Your video was exactly what I was looking for. Think I will try the bamboo.
great explanations, however, no mention was made about whether to buy with or without scrim. Also, which ones are not safe for something that will go in the microwave?
Figuring out what batting to use has been my hardest part of quilting. I prefer an unwashed quilt look, instead of the shrunk crinkled look. I also want the quilt to breathe well and not be so heavy that it squishes down on toes. The backing I use also comes into play on the weight. Cuddle and flannel make a quilt heavy, which changes my batting. Help! I am currently making a quilt for my grandson which will have flannel backing. I am thinking 50/50 or bamboo. It is a chevron quilt, so I want it to stay crisp, not crinkly, but I also want it to breathe well. What would you use?
it is sort of impossible to combine breathable batting means natural fibers. but they'll shrink and crinkle. although some prewash by hand (soaking). for kids and babies polyester is recommended - light, warm, resistant , quick to dry. but no breathability (yet). however it is a most sanitary option, of which people seldom think avoiding washing quilts
