I hate to admit it, but what is homespun fabric?
I can give you a tip on not using batting. It is fine if you are typing it. I tried it on a quilt I made which was to be light-weight, like for a bedspread. I had it machine-quilted. She ran into trouble, and said if I did it again, I need to get the light-weight batting now on the market. It will machine-quilt much nicer. Neither of us thought of that when we were talking about it before her doing the work.
