I like fluffy quilts. In the past I bought Extra Loft polyester batting and they would be fluffy. Now when I use it they feel as if you just quilted the top and backing, so thin. If there has been a thread on batting that will make a quilt fluffy, would you please share the link? Thanks

Do you want a comforter? That would take a 6-10 oz. fat batting. Dream Cotton Wool is 1/4" and very light.

I too like fluffy quilts and had the same problem. I finally found a poly batting at a LQS that was an inch thick. And it was cheaper than the prepackaged 'fat batts.' Otherwise there are a couple of companies that make fat batts. You will probably have to order them online though.

I also like fluffy quilts.

Have you tried a wool batting? I always recommend wool over polyester...I always feel like I'm wrapping myself up in plastic with poly... :shock:

I like fluffy quilts, thats why I always feel some of the machine quilting is done too close, makes he quilt feel stiff, sorry hope I don't hurt feelings here.

No, not a comforter. An example is when I do a landscape and quilt it with stippling it feels as if there is no batting. I just had a quilt quilted and I purchased the poly High Loft and it is so thin. I guess I grew up with quilts that were thick and heavy. Although here in Florida we don't need the warmth. I guess I am weird but I have always loved poly batting. I use to get Fat Batt or something like that which made quilts thick but light.

Maybe the packaging was mislabeled? I see batting out here advertised from low to high loft, and the high loft is very thick :D:D:D

I have seen some that had to have had two or more layers of high loft batting, and some with one layer of high loft and a wool blanket added in to for extra warmth and weight :D:D:D |
