I'm new at this. Can you please explain what is meant by "needled" batting? Thanks. Sharon
Needled batting means the batting has been smashed with hundreds of needles. It causes the fibers to bond together, except for the outer fibers. They tend to be denser and can beard because of the outer fibers. They are also usually a littler loft than a bonded batt.
Much appreciation for your response, Sadiemae. It was very helpful.
