Batting help
Hello everyone! This is my first time posting. I have made several quilt over the years, but I am in no way experienced. I am in desperate need of advice on batting. In the quilts I have made in the past, I have always used the cotton batting from Walmart. It was fine and served the purpose. Well, I am making my daughter a new quilt for her bed. I have really put a lot of time in the quilt top. The top is mainly black and white with a strip of hot pink. The backing is hot pink. At first, I had decided to go with a batting from JoAnn's - Soft n Crafty (Loft 3) 100% bonded polyester. I wanted the quilt to be thicker than the past quilts I made with the cotton battings. I also wanted minimal shrinkage. I did want it to wrinkle or look "antiquey." However, I am so concerned over bearding. I really want that to avoid that as much as possible. I would really appreciate your expert advice and opinions on batting. Thanks in advance.
