I use Thermore batting, it gives substance and quilts up nicely, but does not give uneven bumps in the table runners or table mats, just fills out the quilting designs. It is about the same thickness as a piece of fabric, but quilts up nicer. It also adheres to the fabric so stays in place when quilting.
