Batting for table cloth
#1
I want to try some tube quilting to make a table cloth for our oval picnic table. I was wondering what kind of batting to use as I would like the table cloth to hang nicely over the edge. Thanks so much for your advice!

flannel shrinks through quite a few washings, not just the once like most cottons. most fabric stores sell a batting type of interfacing, usually is located with the interfacing, wonder under, etc. section. it is more stable than a felt type of fabric. i forget what it is called. i also use warm/natural, which i like alot. oh, i just assumed you were going to back the table cloth - these suggestions are for that type.
