Batting as thick as a mattress pad
#11
I used some even thicker than an inch on my longarm. Make sure to make the quilt a little larger than you want it because more is taken up with the quilting than usual. I did very large meandering. It worked out fine and the recipiants love them. It did take a while and a couple of washings to loosen up though. (mine was 128" wide)

I have some High Loft 1" thick batting I will be using on quilts, whenever I decide to use it. My experience is, it is never as thick as they say it is. I do a large meander, or whatever its called. I only use polyester quilt batting, warm without weight. It washes and dries very well.

Have any of you seen or used this type?
If so, what type of quilt?
Did you butt it together to make it bigger?
How does it handle? It sure doesn't feel very plyable.
How much/what kind of quilting did you apply?
Hope I am not stuck with this gynormous pad. :lol:
