Hey everyone, Question
What do you use for batting in a wall hanging. I normally put warm and natural, sometimes I'll put polyester, but wondering Is there soemthing different that you use???? |
I've used just a piece of old, but clean, between front and back. It just gives it a bit of firmness to sew through. Blessings, Ruth

I use Warm and Natural for all of my quilts. The wall hangings turn out just as great as the rest. Go for it.
|
While sorting through some boxes, I came across a few of my daughters 'receiving blankets'. I used a couple of them for my 'batting', and they worked out great.
|
I've used the warm and natural, but on some I wanted more poof, so used a high loft polyester. Depends on the finished look you want.
|
I was recently told to check the batting to see which direction stretched the most. Always put the least stretchy direction for the length as it will stretch some when hanging.
|
I use warm and natural or poly batting. Both work well.
|
I just use warm and natural

On very large hangings a lot of people use poly because it's lighter. |

I often times use flannel. If I machine quilt, I like a heavier weight flannel or warm and natural as it stitches better. Wall hangings and table runners are a great way to use piece batting as well.

I use Quilter's Dream Poly for all my wall hangings. It has enough loft to give the quilting a little definition but is still nice and flat. It's also lightweight so it's less likely to sag over time.
