Not a fan of thicker battings for the tipping issue . The flatter battings will allow for a glass to rest on it without rocking.

If I am in a hurry I have put it in to soak for 15 minutes and then run the gentle cycle for about 1-2 minutes just to help the saturation. I used to soak in the sink or tub and noticed that after 15 minutes not all the fibers had taken on water ( there were still area lighter in color indicating they had not soaked up water).

Just finished my second table runner for the new island in my kitchen. Used left over fusible fleece. Don't want a lot of loft. Too tippy. Quilting still showed as much as I wanted it to. When the fleese is gone I have some mystery fab I will use for batting. Think it may be sweatshirt material.
So much fun to make. Did use a pattern. Just determined the size and away I went. One has two rows of large flying geese with no center. Just two rows of geese.
The other has a center bordered by half squ triangles.
Now have to make one for Christmas. Whoopee! Get to shop my stash!!
