In her book she mentions a poly/cotton batting, 80/20 that she makes, that you can iron down to make it flat so it’s easier to sew, and then put it in the dryer to refluff it. I believe it was in a width of 18”. Not sure if this batting is still available. I saw on Jenny Beyers site she had an 18” batting, but not sure it’s the same.
