Have any of you seen or used this type?
If so, what type of quilt?
Did you butt it together to make it bigger?
How does it handle? It sure doesn't feel very plyable.
How much/what kind of quilting did you apply?
Hope I am not stuck with this gynormous pad. :lol:
Are you absolutely certain it is quilt batting and not upholstery batting? The last layer before the fabric goes on is usually a layer of really thick polyester batting. It's rather stiff but works to plump out the upholstery fabric covering, which is fitted under tension. It also does not compress very much when you pinch it, it tries very hard to stay the same thickness.
