I was thinking about purchasing some microsafe batting.Has anyone used this before and what do you think of it ?
I guess it's suppose to be microbial against mold and mildew, bet my question is, how is it when it's used to quilt with? |
Never heard of it. Hope someone replies.
|
never heard of it either
|
what is it for?
|
where did you see it?
|
I googled it and here is what it says:
Microsafe Batting 100" Wide. This batting is an extremely fine denier polyester fiber with a dense cross-link pattern. The bond strength is unsurpassed, the insulation excells, the hand is soft and silky. This fiber will withstand the most rigorous washings. MicroSafe fiber provides continuous control of the growth of bacteria, fungi, mold, mildew and yeast. MicroSafe creates clean, sanitary conditions, making it ideally suited for bedding products. The elimination of microbial growth reduces odors, staining and textile product degradation. MicroSafe is very safe and will not wash out. Hypoallergenic. |
That is a new one on me. What exactly is this and how is it different from regular batting?
|
I was shopping on line at Joannes and I found some on a large roll for around $54.00 for 48"x 20 yards I have never purchased it. Maybe it is alot like any regular batting.quote=nativetexan]where did you see it?[/quote]

That was exactly my question.... All I want to know is has anyone ever used this in their quilts?

I am thinking it is the batting used in pillow top mattresses. I remember seeing something about mircosafe on the tags when I was buying a new bedset.

Actually, it is a great price compared to some I have been looking at. I agee with you on this though, I use my washing machine too, I was only curious if any one ever used it for their quilts.

Maybe if you lived in a tropical climate it might be an issue...but then would you be using/needing a quilt lol.
|
I may consider that if I was making a quilt for someone with severe allergys... other wise I prefer cotton batting.
