Do you have a favorite batting that shows off your quilting designs?
Thanks for posting your works of art and heart!
Thank you - and SURE! I am always happy to share!!
I used Hobbs 80/20 batting for both quilts. I really like the way it quilts up - although it DOES have a mild tendency to beard if used with dark backings. I really try to use a backing that is going to be the similar in color to whatever the predominant color the quilting thread will be...99% it's a neutral color thread.
My favorite battings are Quilters Dream Deluxe Polyester batting, Hobbs 80/20, and Hobbs Tuscany wool!
Wool by far is the best choice in my opinion for quilting - but it is very pricy so most of the time I use the second best option, which is Hobbs 80/20. Quilters Dream Deluxe Poly gives great quilting definition with less tendency to beard.
