As a new quilter, I'm baffled about the different types of batting and which type to use with which project. I know nothing about needle punched batting, polyester batting, wool batting, etc.
Is it better to use one over another when making potholders, wall quilts, bed quilts? I understand the thickness part, but the fiber part is my problem. Is there a rule of thumb? Is there a book about batting? It seems there are several to choose from at JoAnn's. I usually grab the cheapest or the one on sale, being unemployed for over a year, but I'm sure that my choice is not always the best.
I realize this is a huge issue, so please don't take valuable time away from your quilting - just link me to a batty website. lol. Thanks.
