Has anyone used Thermore batting? What did you use it for and how did you like it?
|
I love it for my mini's. It is just the right weight and thickness for me. Cuts cleanly, stays together, I like it alot.
I heard about it on this Board, and I'm grateful! |
I used it once for a class and love it. Very even, sews throught easily, and lays flat. A local shop owner told me she only uses it for clothing-where you don't want bulk. However I love it and will use it again.

Thermore started out being used for coats/jackets.
|
I have used it in clothing, baby quilts, summer bed quilts.
It is wonderful to work with. Chris |
I used it for a quilt for my Grandmother.
I didn't want anything too heavy (and that's relative for 100 pound 90 year old) for her lap and on her legs. It's a big lap quilt - 72" square, but really weighs nothing, and she could easily fling it aside without effort. It was longarm quilted, and it came out lovely. Not as "solid' as, say, a quilt with Warm&Natural cotton batting, but still great for the summer. |
Works great for wall hangings, table runners and light weight quilts. Very easy to hand quilt.

I used it for a king sized hand quilted quilt and it was AWESOME!

I am hand quilting my Dear Jane baby - Jane's Journey. I decided to use Thermore as it was supposed to be thin. Well, it is paper thin & I love quilting through it. I just got another Thermore that I am going to put in a log cabin that I will machine quilt. Wonder how it will do. I'll find out soon. I did find that it has a funny feeling - not quite sticky, but it goes away after some exposure to the air. It is really even across the surface & the thinnest I've ever found - been quilting since 1974.
I've attached a pic of the basting of JJ. I don't know if you can tell just how thin it is, but that's the batting, not the backing hanging fron underneath the top. Jane's Journey being basted [ATTACH=CONFIG]189710[/ATTACH] |
I've used it in two wall hangings, and they do hang really flat. The only issue that I have with it is that unless the batting is cut exactly the size of the backing or a little smaller, the excess batting clings to my machine bed and causes a little drag. Other than that, I think it is great for wall quilts.
