I made quilted stockings for my family. I used batting on the front-which was quilted. I did make a lining for the stocking too so that kind of made up for only a single layer of fabric for the backing. I hope this makes sense- if they were't stuffed away in the attic I'd post a picture.......plus I don't want to even think about Christmas right now! LOL...that means lots of white stuff..ugh!
