Heather Thomas teaches you how to select the type of quilt batting that will work best for your quilting projects. The proper batting is very important for a quilt, based on the form of stitching that you will be doing.

It’s understanding how the batting is going to be affected by the type of stitch that you do, how the batting is going to warm you (if that is what you are looking for), and how it’s going to look after its been laundered if the quilts that you’re making with it are going to be washed because they will be greatly used.
A good batting manufacturer is going to tell you that information so that you can use whatever it is you’re making, the way it is intended to be used. See how making these decisions regarding your quilt batting can be fun and enjoyable with these helpful tips!
