Default table runner

Had enough squares left from the double wedding quilt to make table topper any suggestions which batting would work best

I like Hobbs 80/20 for table runners--not too lofty to use on the table and it quilts nicely. I don't plan on my table runners being heat resistant, so don't need Insulbrite.

I like a thin polyester batting for table runners. Pellon makes one called Thermolam. I like my tablerunners to lay flat after many washings. 80/20 will shrink. I like that look in quilts but not my tablerunners..

I absolutely love using Soft N' Bright (1/8") Polyester by The Warm Company. My table runners turn out beautifully, lying nice and flat!

I use Warm and Natural for everything, big or small. Never had a problem.

I usually use flannel as a wadding but that depends on whether it is going to be purely used as decoration. Should you wish to put hot dishes on it then I would suggest a thicker wadding like 100% cotton.

I use an insulated batting, then it's a hot pad on which to set hot dishes

I usually use Warm and Natural, too. My table runners are purely decorative. When we eat at the dining room table I always use a table protector and a tablecloth so I don't need insulation on my runners.
