Two layers of warm & natural?
 

I have lots of warm & natural batting but want something thicker for a quilt I am making. Can I put two layers together? I would probably use 505 spray. Would it quilt ok?

I wouldn't. The resulting quilt will be not just thick, but very heavy and possibly stiff. Some people layer Hobbs Polydown on top of Warm and Natural to get more loft. That is for longarm quilting. If you are quilting on a domestic sewing machine, I imagine it would be extremely difficult to get either of the options I mentioned under the arm of the machine.

My thought when I read your title was, "I wouldn't be able to lift the quilt". It would be heavy and stiff.

I recently quilted 2 quilts for a customer who asked for one layer of warm and natural and one layer of poly batting for each quilt. They were heavy but they looked nice when they were done. I didn't over quilt it to make them stiff. I don't use a spray adhesive with the long arm.

We live in the Norh east and one layer is plently...you could do it, but no need for warmth and it would be heavy.

Oh and speaking of 505 spray...its half price at Joanne's - I just bought 9 cans and free shipping

I love working with Warm and Natural.... BUT.... sometimes I miss the LOFT of the polyester batts we used to use. A few friends have been using the new wool batts.... I have seen their quilts which have been professionally quilted on a long arm... they're okay.... but.... not spectacular... nor cuddly..... I don't know the answer but for myself I love a soft cuddly quilt, and so many people choose to use quilting patterns that stiffen or flatten their quilts. I guess it's like everything.... try it.... and if you like it...great.... if you don't like it......cross it off the list.

I double my layers of warm and natural all the time. Just do not do heavy quilting. A medium stipple works fine...not to heavy and not stiff.

If the quilt is very big, I would think the weight would be extreme with 2 layers of W and N.

If it's warmth you are after, have you considered a wool batt?

I did this on a twin size quilt. The quilt is heavier, but not stiff. I did SID using a Brother Sq9050 with no problems. I used Elmer's.
Suggestion- Remember the binding needs to be 1" to 1 1/2" bigger because of the thickness of the sandwich.

I see no problems other than getting it out of the washer. My big single layer quilts weigh a ton when wet. If you can do that (or someone can), I'd say have at it!

I sometimes ask for double layer of cotton batting when I use a long armer.

I always use 1 layer of Warm and Natural but I wanted a warmer quilt, and my LA'er suggested a layer of wool on the top. I am going to try this next. We both try to use very little heat in the winter.

When I want a warmer quilt than just one layer of Warm and Natural I use one layer Warm and Natural and one layer of Poly. When making my selection the layer that has the closest quilting requirements is the one that should be followed< that aspect always narrows my selection for the second layer

I can not imagine needing one with two layers. Our bedroom the register is closed off in our room, and our thermometer says 58 (unless we get the real chill factor days, then it is 56) and the quilt we have on our bed is just 5 in charms sewed in rows with poly batting and flannel backing, then we have a very light weight summer store bought blanket. We are never cold at night. I made one for my brother and wife for their camper, and they both said they are never cold anymore in their camper.. and we never use heat..and it gets down to the upper 40's sometimes.. we camp in Wisconsin until the last weekend in Oct..and we start the first weekend of May.. well until this year.. we have way to much snow to get to the camper yet... :(
