Each batting states the recommendations for quilting distances. If your choice requires 2"-4" quilting and you use 10" lines between or tie every 6" when the quilt is laundered the batting will separate and become balls of batting with bare areas. It is important to choose the batting that is going to fit your plan. There are battings that are recommended for tied quilts, some that need to be quilted every 2" , some that allow up to 10" between lines and everything in between. More quilting is OK but less can cause results you will be very unhappy with down the road.
