I have a blue quilt and used warm and white batting but when I got the quilt back from the quilter, it was fuz all over the quilt. I am going to remake the quilt. Whatbatting do you suggest that I use so the quilt will not get all that fuz?

I need help badly.

quilting baby

I use the warm and natural all the time and don't get fuzzing. Did she actually use your provided batting? Maybe try washing it and see if it goes away. Taking out all that sewing will be a major project and you will weaken the fabric.

sorry i always use wandw no problems

i'm using it now and don't have any fuzz...'cept from the cat who thinks it's where she needs to sit :roll:

take a lint cleaner, masking tape, something to clean it up - it should be ok

After having a bad experience with batting in a bag on the last quilt, I will only use batting cut from a roll from now on. It was so difficult to iron it to get the wrinkles out and then there were spots where it was much thinner than others. One area actually tore when I was unfolding it. I like thin batting so only use cotton. Everything I make is machine quilted.

i am buying it off the roll - not in the bad...

I have had 2 quilts quilted and I used what she had and it turned out great. Most professional quilters know what is best for your quilt

If you took W n N or W n W then your quilter loaded it upside down if you have batting fuzz on the quilt. I use one of the older brush lint removers and this does a really good job at removing that lint.

Your rule of thumb on any type of cotton or cotton blend batt is the bumpy side goes UP, slick or smooth side goes to the backing fabric.

This info is provided to you by a longarm quilter.

I used W&N almost exclusively and have never had a problem with lint. I got a great buy on cotton blend batting and I regret buying it every time I use it. It works fine within the quilt (no bearding at all) but it is the lintiest batting I've ever seen! I am using it as much as I can but the yardage doesn't seem to be shrinking at all. So lesson learned...a bargain is not always a bargain!! Next time I try a new product, I won't buy 10 yards of it!

I too only use warm and natural and have never had a problem

I had no idea there was a right/wrong side to batting. Thanks.

I use mostly warm and nat, wandw, with no problem. I have used Dream blend also with no problem. I really like it but it is not available where I live now.

Nor did I. I will have to look more carefully when I get ready to finish my next project. Good info to have.

does that also happen if the quilting needle was blunt? would tht push the batting out?

If you can remove the fuzzies with a lint roller they probably won't keep appearing on your quilt. Using a dull needle may have caused this. If, on the other hand, batting fibers keep coming out of your quilt, I would suspect that she may have substituted a poly batting for your W and W. You can check this by gathering a small amount of the fiber and WITH TWEEZERS holding it over a candle flame (be sure to have a glass of water handy to drop the fibers into if needed.) Cotton fibers will "char" when burnt, but poly. fibers will melt into a hard nubbin.

I wonder the same thing, because I have never worried about which way my batting was facing(right or wrong) and I haven't had this problem.

i have been long arm quilting for quite a few years now and never have i had a quilt come out (fuzzy).
my customers use all kinds of different battings, (thankfully most use the warm products) some of their batts i hate, but i use what they bring and want used, never has a quilt come out with fuzz on the outside of the quilt, i would be taking a lint brush to it and asking the quilter just where all this fuzz came from.

In all the time I've used W&N or W&W I have never had pilling of the batting. Now I do use W^W on light quilts only but that should not make a difference.

If someone buys the bagged batting, it is important to unroll/unfold it and let it relax for a while. You can also toss it in the cool dryer with a damp towel to help relax the folds.

I bought my first piece of Hobbs 80-20 on Friday. It is a requirement for my quilting class - to try different battings and this one will be used in trapunto. It feels a bit fluffier than W&N but not as fluffy as Polyester.

[quote=akrogirl]Same here!

There should not be any fuzz from warm &natural/or warm & white. Are you sure the lady doing the quilting used your batting?
I use warm & natural all the time, no fuzz.

To all of you thank you so much for your response. I will inform the quilter that I believe she put the warm and natural batting on there the wrong way and I will let her know there is a right and wrong way to put batting on. I will do this in a loving way and then in a loving way, I am going to ask for a discount on my next quilt should I choose to use her again.

Have a wondefful day to you all. I love this site. It is like having your own private teacher.

I forgot to share with all of you that I washed the quilt twice and the majority of the fuz came off. I will still have to use the lint remover but it is not like it was.

Thanks again for all the advice.

Warm & White or Natural do not "fuzz up" the outside of the quilt---it is the best out there. Now I have had some polyesters do the fuzz routine. It sounds like she either did not use your batting and replaced it with poly or she laid it with a polyester batting quilt with the batting exposed along the edges and it rubbed off.
