Best Batting for a Large Wall Hanging?
#3
Define large... For no sagging and a bit of puffiness, go with two layers...W&N with wool on top.
My preferences:
For 'special' wall quilts, I use a layer of Warm & Natural (to prevent sagging) topped with a layer of wool (to accent the quilting).
For 'everyday' wall quilts, I just use a single layer of W&N.
For 'small' wall quilts, I mount them on artist's canvas to give them presence.

...And I was afraid that someone would suggest two layers. I'm not sure I want that much money in this quilt. It's a challenge quilt for my guild. I don't have a particular use for it afterwards. I've put embellishments on it that might prevent me from washing it. That's why I think it will be best as a wall quilt.

Look for a batting with a very strong scrim. Warm and Natural will give it that structure you are looking for. If you want the bit of puffiness add a thin layer of poly. The warm and natural will support and give the structure to the poly.
