Help.....how do make "thick" quilt
#12
You could use two layers of batting, one cotton like quitters dream select or even deluxe and then a poly layer...you would have to quilt loosely so it stays lofty following the battings requirements of course...or tying would also keep the loft as the others have said. You'd probably want to have it long armed if you used two battings.

I've made a couple quilts this way. I like the heavy weight and look. Of course living in central Wisconsin makes this everyones favorite quilt. I quilt on my Husqvarna Topaz. I did SITD on one and a very wide spread vine pattern on the other. The receipents loved them.

I made something similar with two layers of high loft and tied it with floss. My daughter loved it and took it home for the foot of her guest bed. It was quick to do and easy but not my personal favorite.

I almost always use high loft poly batting in my quilts and do not have any problems quilting them. It sounds like she wants a comforter, which is thicker and I would tie it. Quilts are thinner and quilted, comforters are ticker and tied. JMO.
