I have a small square quilt top that would work well for a bridge size tablecloth. I'm wondering if I should use batting or just back it with fabric. Anyone make quilt tops into tablecloths and have some suggestions?

The popular designer, Kaffee Fassett ,does not use batting on some of his tablecloths. He just fuses them to backing- or his staff does it!

I would just use a backing that is dark enough so the seams don't show through, and quilt it :D:D:D

Table toppers usually have some lo loft poly batting I think. I don't have any experience with quilting without any batting.
If you don't plan to quilt it, why not just hem it like an ordinary tablecloth? |

I like them much better when they have the batting. Use the lowest loft you can find. Easier to quilt on your machine too.

Thanks for the hints. I do plan to quilt it so I think I will go with very thin batting rather than none. There are too many seams on the back for me to be happy with it if I were to just hem it. With thin batting hopefully I will still get a nice drape.
