cloth book advice
I am making a couple of cloth books for an upcoming birthday gift to one year old twins. Will the books be ok with thin batting and not poufy batting? I am using fusible fleece, which is very thin. But I don't plan on quilting the pages much, if at all. I have no experience with babies or toddlers!

You could use a flannel in the center of the pages. Be sure to pre-wash because flannel shrinks. If you use much for batting, when you try to stitch the pages together in the middle, it will be too think to get under the presser foot.. Books are fun to make and easy to wash. That is important with toddlers. You dont need much quilting on each page. A simple outline will do.
