Default Batting or not for tablecloth

Hello, just wondering if you use a thin batting when you make a tablecloth or just leave it with the two fabrics and tying it . I like a thin batting like thermor in my table runners. Thanks

if you use stemware, i would definitely not use batting so the danger of tipping is lessened

I use a thin batting on all my table cloths. I also use stemware & have not had a problem with the glasses tipping.

I believe Pellon make an extra thin batting especially for table runners.

I made one for a friend using a very nice quality, extra wide flannel. I spray fused it, then quilted it (no back) and it works very well. I pre-washed the flannel, and it was a very tight weave.

Pellon fleece interfacing goes in all table toppers at my house.

I use regular Warm & Natural batting in my table cloths with no trouble. Sometimes I make a throw and end up using it as a table cloth.

I use Warm n Natural in my table cloths. I've never had a problem with things tipping over and they wash beautifully.
