I have read threads here where a quilter has doubled the batting on purpose, so I would think it must be something that works. Don't worry about senior moments. They keep things interesting...(and we all have them).

I would never want to force my old Bernina to stitch thru two layers of batting but if you are careful, hopefully everything will turn out OK. As Dina said, we ALL HAVE THEM like it or not!!

A lot of competition quilters use a light,thin batting with a puffy one. I made one with double batting..it turned out great.
Life may not be the party we planned for,but while we are here we should dance!
you live in the finger lakes, nothing can be to warm.
put off till tomorrow what you can do today, and if you procrastinate long enough, you may never have to do it.
If you wet it, the glue will release. You do not have to "wash" it but it does need to be very wet.
Better to do something imperfectly, than nothing perfectly.
Done is better than perfect.
Also if you run a warmbiron over it the elmers glue will release. Do a small area at a time.Originally Posted by AZ Jane

If you find that it is to thick for your machine, make it a nice tied quilt.
I made my first baby quilt a double bat because I wanted it fluffy. It was fine - quilted fine.

Senior moments are a daily occurrence for me... I am really getting worried, as my mom had dementia. I told my husband the other day about my frequent forgetful moments... all he said was... " so next time I tell you something , don't argue with me about being right"....omg... men... no sympathy from that one....
I think your quilt will be fine... especially in NY.... can't be too warm in the winter there, I bet....
