table runner
 

Had enough squares left from the double wedding quilt to make table topper any suggestions which batting would work best

I like Hobbs 80/20 for table runners--not too lofty to use on the table and it quilts nicely. I don't plan on my table runners being heat resistant, so don't need Insulbrite.

so do i

I like a thin polyester batting for table runners. Pellon makes one called Thermolam. I like my tablerunners to lay flat after many washings. 80/20 will shrink. I like that look in quilts but not my tablerunners..

I absolutely love using Soft N' Bright (1/8") Polyester by The Warm Company. My table runners turn out beautifully, lying nice and flat!

I use Warm and Natural for everything, big or small. Never had a problem.

I usually use flannel as a wadding but that depends on whether it is going to be purely used as decoration. Should you wish to put hot dishes on it then I would suggest a thicker wadding like 100% cotton.

I use an insulated batting, then it's a hot pad on which to set hot dishes

I usually use Warm and Natural, too. My table runners are purely decorative. When we eat at the dining room table I always use a table protector and a tablecloth so I don't need insulation on my runners.

I love warm and natural

I want my table runners to lay flat, so I always wash and dry all my fabrics and use Warm and White because of the minimal shrinkage. So far this works for me.

Pellon fleece interfacing is my go to for table toppers. Sold with interfacing, not batting. Love everything about it for that job. Flat, gives nice body, has a little loft so your quilting shows, etc. I prefer the non fusible.

I always use Insulbright, it lies flat and protects the table surface so you can leave the runner in place and put hot dishes on it. It launders really well, doesn't pucker and doesn't require a lot of quilting to keep it stable.
