Wall Hangings
I am planning on making some walling hangings. I was wondering what batting would be the best for them to hang well?
|
i try to use some of the stiffer battings. people give me their cut offs when squaring their quilts and i can usually piece them together for a WH. never sure which brand they are.
|
I use thin batting whatever I can get my hands on. Never had a problem. I do not wash them very often, but put them through the dryer on a fluff setting after they have hung on the wall for the length of time I need them to.
|
I just use my regular 80/20 batt but square up all the way through. I sometimes use the machine binding with flange as it makes an extra sturdy binding to help the edge stay straight.
|
It depends on what you want to feature... the piecing, applique, quilting? If you want the quilting to really pop, a double batting with a wool batting being the top layer will really accentuate your quilting. If you want the wall hanging to be flatter and show off the applique or piecing, maybe go with a cotton or cotton/poly blend.

I use Warm and Natural for everything. Never had a problem.
|
I've used Warm and Natural as well as Hobbs 80/20 with no problems.
|
I use the same batting that I use for quilts. Not a problem.
|
I use pretty much whatever I have pieces of that I can cobble together to fit and it all seems to work out. I've even used fusible that I didn't fuse and it was fine.

Below is the post I made with the same question. I ended up using warm and natural batting with scrim.
