warm and natural 80/20 keeps it hanging straight and flat.

I usually use fusible fleece on the front and on the backing. Sometimes I quilt through just the front, and other times I quilt through both layers. Hangs well either way.

PERSONALLY, I like to use fusible fleece, as it seems to give me a better batting, especially for wall hangings. That's my personal preference. I also like using it in placemats, table runners, as well as handbags.

I've had good luck with fusible fleece for wallhangings and if there is an area that I want the quilting to pop or I want a trapunto effect I will add a layer of scrap batting on top of that. I've also used warm and natural with the scrim and liked that as well, again adding another layer of whatever I've got left over in the scrap bin if I want more definition to the quilting or want a trapunto effect. I've also had good luck with different battings scraps that I've zigzagged together, but sometimes these have been a little more problematic n terms of thread breakage or other tension problems while FMQ, due to the different densities of the types of batting and thread build up from too many small pieces zigzagged together-- this has produced some interesting effects on my art quilts, but probably wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea :shock:

I use warm and natural scraps from my larger quilts. It always seems like I have a placemat width strip the length of the quilt. I have been know to sew two battings together for wall hangings, they don't get the wear of a true quilt.

Thermolam. Table runners lay flat, wall hangings hang straight. It is what the women at the LQS recommend and what they use for store samples. I tried it and really like the results. It is too dense for quilts.

I really like Quilter Dream 70/30 Blend, W&N they hang nicely.

Also I have seen where the put triangles in all four sides in the corners; and place a small to medium size dowel at the top and the bottom to keep the hanging straight.
