I would like to make a quilted garment with silk batting so it will drape well. However, locally I can not find silk batting. I have never used silk batting before and would like some help from those of you who have used it and ordered it on line. Can you please tell me in your opinon which is the best silk batting and who you would recomend to order it from.

Thank you in advance.

I'd like to follow your post. I didn't even know there was silk batting.

A very good friend of mine, he is very talented longarm quilter, uses silk batting a lot (for hand and machine quilting) and he loves it. He owns a quilt shop in Hamburg and the brand he uses is Tuscany. Unfortunately I don't know where to purchase it in US but you could just do an internet search and I am sure you will find it.

Thank you for your reply, I will search for it.

I use/sell the Tuscany...I also have some from walmart...there is a HUGE difference in the way the are made and how they drape...but for clothing(jackets) I prefer the cheaper walmart one..it is so thin and flimsy it drapes great!

Dream Company makes a blend and I believe they will ship a single package.

the DREAM COMPANY carries wonderful batts===
DREAM ORIENT is a wonderful silk blend batt- Dream Silk, Dream Bamboo...Dream Wool

Thank you all for your help!
