Hi everyone, I found a trove of batting hiding in my bedroom in a closet that goes to the attic. Forgot all about it for years. Most is Warm and Natural but found others, along with brand new pillow forms.
Two questions:
High loft polyester- queen size- what can I use it for? No clue- 2 big bags
A roll of what looks like felt but it's that stuff that you sew with. I can't even think of what it's called.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Maybe the felt like stuff is Thinsulate by Pelion. I think that what it's called. You may want to make a small quilt sandwich with it and machine wash and dry it to see how it reacts before using it in a project.

High loft batting is great for tied quilts. Lots of Lutheran World Relief quilts sent overseas are done that way. Also, it can be used for kids quilts -- kids like soft and comfy. I use scraps of high loft batting in pillows. It makes a good buffer between the outer quilted part and the pillow form.

I mostly use high loft polyester batting. Not hard at all to machine quilt. It can also be hand quilted, I use to do that about 15 years ago. The other I have no idea about it.Originally Posted by SusieQOH
