lots of good ideas, thanks everyone!
|
After reading these posts, I think I will try Hobbs Thermore and also fusible fleece.
|
I use white felt that I purchase at Joann's when on sale or I use a coupon. I make alot of table runners and placemats to sell at craft fairs, and I don't like the "poofy" look either. I will use leftover pieces of W&N just to use it up, but felt is much cheaper, and is 60" wide, usually at $4.99, but I only buy it on sale for $2.99 a yd. It keeps everything nice and flat...great for table pieces!

Lasts a long time. |
I always use Insul Brite for the batting in my table toppers and also spray them with scotch guard for fabrics. The insul brite protects my wooden table, and they wash up nicely. That way they can be used whether I keep them or they are gifted to others.

I use the Pellon fleece...I get it at Wal*Mart.
|
I use flannel. It holds the stitches together and is not puffy.
