I quilt my fronts to warm and natural usually what is left from other quilts. A lot of time I do quilt as I go with strips or with rows of smaller units sewn together. Or just baste it to the warm and natural and then FMQ depends on the look but I use warm and natural to give it some heft but still keep it somewhat soft. I usually do it front and back.

My sister made several Christmas Stockings a while back. She just used Warm and Natural. They came out great.

Polyester felt that is sold by the yard...It is very wide and cheap. I line my stockings with muslin and put the felt in between both the front and back of the stocking...I only patchwork the front and use a solid or Christmas print for the back. When you do this, you do not have to quilt heavily just enough to hold all the pieces together. If you do the lining separately, just quilt the batting to the front and to the back if you are doing a binding all around the stocking, I would quilt all three pieces. This makes a nice firm stocking that can hold almost anything and will last for years. Well worth the time and effort. This type brings a nice price on Etsy and you will be proud of it. I have made about 10 this year and my family loves them. I also sometimes use warm and natural scraps...you can sew them together and then cut out the stocking.

I agree that the softer batting would work best. I use the very stiff stuff for postcards......I have used both craft batting and warm and natural for socks in the past.......haven't tried a poly, but if it's thin, why not?

I use Hobbs Tuscany 80% Cotton/20% Wool . . .and since thats what I had on hand when I made stockings for my daughter's family recently, that's what I used. They turned out cute:
