What's a Good Batting for a Table Runner?
 

Hi everyone,
The last time I made one I used fleece and it wouldn't lay flat.
I'm making one for the Christmas season and want to know what I should use.
I have lots of battings of different makes, blends, etc. I will FMQ it.

Thanks so much!

PS. I want something more substantial than flannel so that one's out.

I use insubright. It helps insulates the warm dishes so helps protect the table . I learned this when our daughter had someone put a pizza box on her antique dining room table. Pizza was hot and table was heat stained!

I’ve used double thickness of Mother’s old, slightly stained white table cloths.

I use warm and Natural.

I used Warm and Natural scraps on the last one I made. It lays flat.

I have used the Season's Cover batting. It is a thin batting used for crafts & holiday decor. It lays flat & comes in 36" x 7'. I usually pick it up at Hobby Lobby ( I think Michael's might carry it too) after Xmas on clearance & have gotten some really good buys. I haven't had any problems with it that I know off. Just a suggestion.

I use 60/40 wool/poly and found that it laid nice and flat and had a good firmness to it as well. haha, I bought a whole roll of the stuff and have found it to not be to my total satisfaction for quilts so am delighted that I have another use for it. By my quick calculations (ahem) I reckon I've got about another 3,000,000 table runners worth of batting sitting under my sewing table....guess what is my default gift idea....LOL!

I have used polyester material..strong and heavy enough to lay flat.

I don't use batting for table runners. I use deco craft. It's flat and stays flat. Great for placemats.
