I layered a lap quilt for hand quilting using warm and natural wool for batting. Last night I decided to take all my hand quilting stitches out and use a different batting because it was so hard for me to hand quilt using the warm and natural...I also didn't like the fabric that I used for the backing. The did the front in applique using busy fabric for the background and then I used busy fabric for the backing and needless to say it all looked toooooo busy...lol So with the difficulty in hand quilting using the W&N and the busy back I decided to take the quilt apart ....I know I was insane. I did so much work with the applique on the front I wanted to be satisfied with the quilt. Well, the reason I am posting I was wondering if anyone used the Thermore and doubled the thickness since it is like using nothing when using the single thickness. I have wool batting but since it is so expensive I didn't want to cut it up for a lap quilt and use it for my larger quilts...lol I haven't used Thermore batting before....but it looks like it would be great for hand quilting. I bought a bunch of it on sale at Connecting Threads when they had such a good buy on it. Sorry this has been sooooo long. Just wanted to get your opinion ...if there is any drawback as far as doing a double layer of Thermore...will there be any dreaded after effects....sure would hate to rip out my stitches again...lol
