Help with choosing batting for a dupioni silk quilt
Hi,
I've just joined and wanted to share my new silk quilt experience. I've been sewing forever, so I wasn't afraid to dive into quilting with silk. Dupioni silk is very hardy and loves a hot steam press. Some of the luster comes from the finishing process, so pressing it calms down the sheen. I am combining Thai silk dupioni with handwoven mudme cloth that I've collected over the years. The weights vary, so I've had some trouble matching points; the dupioni is the most stable of the bunch. The threads ravel, but I've got over 300 pieces so far, and no problems save for a very messy looking back! My major question at this point is what should I use for batting? I don't want whatever I choose to fight with the silk.
Thanks for reading!
