I was wondering, is the batting in question cotton batting or poly batting and if this would make a difference. I have made a couple of quilts using poly batting and never had a problem with it and the stitching was done approx.8-10" apart ( a square block). I have made about 3 quilts with cotton batting and so far have not finished doing more quilting closer together so I have not dared to wash them but when I do I will take them to the laundromat to tumble in those big machines rather than twist in a reg.machine. It seems to me that the cotton batting would need to be stitched closer than 10" to hold well. Can you tell me which batting was used in your projects? TIA.
