Default What batting should I use to make tablerunners and table toppers lay flat?

Hi All, would love your opinions please,

I made a couple of tablerunners for my cousin and was at her house last night and she had them out which was nice. However, I was disappointed that after she washed them they shrunk and got bunchy....they still lay mostly flat but I didn't like what I saw. It would be fine for a quilt, in fact, I would like that, but it didn't make me too happy to see that with the tablerunners. I used 100% polyester Pellon fleece hoping that it might not shrink much but I confess to not knowing much about different types of batting. My cousin asked me to make another one so I guess she didn't mind but I think that a lot of you might agree that you would want them to lay really flat.

Is there anything I could use so my tablerunners and toppers can lay flat after machine washing and drying? I have several tops done that I want to finish off.

As always, thanks so much and have a wonderful weekend!
