BUYING GUIDE
Quilting batting, the fluffy layer of insulation between fabrics, is a vital component in quilting that adds warmth, thickness, and texture to quilt projects. Whether you’re a novice or an experienced quilter, finding the right batting is crucial for the success of your quilting projects. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you choose the best quilting batting:
1. Understand Batting Types:
Different materials impact the warmth, drape, and texture of the finished quilt.
a. Cotton: Lightweight, breathable, and ideal for a soft, antique finish. It’s perfect for a traditional-looking quilt but can shrink slightly, giving your quilt a puckered, vintage look.
b. Polyester: Lightweight, durable, and offers more loft than cotton. It holds its shape and thickness well and is non-shrinking.
c. Wool: Offers excellent warmth and is commonly used for winter quilts. It’s breathable and provides higher loft than cotton and polyester.
d. Silk: Breathable, with a natural ability to wick moisture away from the body. It drapes beautifully and is often used for heirloom quilts due to its luxurious feel.
e. Bamboo: Eco-friendly, soft, and has natural antibacterial properties. It’s breathable and ideal for quilts in warmer climates.
f. Blends: Often a mix of cotton and polyester, combining the benefits of both materials.
2. Consider Loft:
The “loft” refers to the thickness of the batting.
a. Low loft: Ideal for a flatter finish, making it easier to achieve sharp, crisp edges and fine quilting lines. It’s also easier to sew by hand or machine.
b. High loft: Creates a puffier quilt and is often used in comforters or tied quilts. It’s not ideal for detailed quilting because the higher loft obscures intricate stitching.
3. Determine Warmth and Weight:
Think about the climate and the intended use of the quilt. Cotton, wool, and bamboo battings are great for warmth, while polyester is lighter.
4. Think About Breathability:
If the quilt will be used in a warm environment, consider cotton or bamboo batting for their moisture-wicking properties.
5. Check Size Availability:
Ensure the batting size fits your project. Batting comes in precut sizes that match common quilt sizes and also in large rolls.
6. Decide on Color:
Most batting comes in white or off-white, but black batting is also available and can be useful when working with dark fabrics to prevent batting “bearding” or showing through.
7. Fusible vs. Non-Fusible:
Fusible batting has an adhesive on both sides that allows you to iron your quilt layers together to hold them in place until you finish quilting. It’s great for small projects but can be difficult to handle in larger quilts.
8. Consider Shrinkage:
If you want an old-fashioned, puckered look, choose a batting with higher shrinkage. If not, go for batting labeled as pre-shrunk or low-shrinkage.
9. Brand and Quality:
Purchase from a reputable brand. Quality batting won’t bunch up or separate within the quilt over time.
10. Allergies:
Consider hypoallergenic batting, especially if the quilt is for someone who has allergies.
11. Care Instructions:
Check the batting’s care instructions. Some batting types cannot be machine washed and may require special care.
12. Environmental Impact:
If sustainability is a concern, opt for natural fibers like cotton, bamboo, or wool from manufacturers that prioritize eco-friendly practices.
13. Test Before Use:
If you’re trying a new type of batting, consider making a small test quilt to see how it behaves in terms of loft, warmth, and quilting ease.
14. Reviews and Recommendations:
Look at reviews and ask for recommendations from experienced quilters.
Choosing the right batting is as important as selecting the perfect fabric. By understanding the different types of batting and what they offer, you can select the best one for your specific quilting project.
