I did ues warm and natural batting and quilted it with straight line stitch in the ditch and used invisible thread. I love that stuff. You put regular thread in the bobbin and put the invisible thread on the spinle on top of the machine and make your stitch lengh a little bit longer and it will look nice. I birthed mine before I quilted it tho. Meaning I layed the batting down and then put the backing and topper together right sides together and leaving an opening stitch all the way around leaing the opening for turning. Then turned it right side out and hand sewed the opeing closed and then did the quilting. You can quilt and bind it if you like also, Huggies, Fay
