I'm making a twin irish chain from this book and want the batting to be nice and fluffy like in the pic of this book. Does anyone know what she uses? She said 8-10 oz batting but none of mine is labled by oz

if it's fluffu it's most likely poly

she did say it's polly but i guess polly comes in different weights? should i just get the extra loft or would that be hard to quilt?

Years ago, I used to buy 8oz polyester batting at Joann's. I could only tie those quilts as they were too thick to try to machine quilt.

Extra loft is harder to hand quilt.

Extra loft would probably be more like a comforter. Medium should give you the definition you want.

I just used a high loft poly batting from a LQS. Don't know the weight as it was off a roll, but it was at least 1 inch high. I machine quilted it and it worked fine. It would be a little harder to hand quilt, but doable. The stitches may not be as small.

ok cool. I'm going to get the extra loft poly fil cuz it said on the package it's a medium weight. thanks everyone!
