"Stiffer" batting to use for wallhangings?

I use warm and natural for my lap quilts but it's too flimsy (or so I think) for wallhangings. Is there a stiffer batting to use for wallhangings?

For some wall hangings I have "backed" the warm and natural with a stiff interfacing, and then handled the batting as a single unit , using a regular backing fabric. You can use fusible interfacing , but I spray basted my interfacing to the batting.

Depending on how large your wall hangings are.... I had purchased a roll of Stiffy from Long Creek Mills http://longcreekmills.com/location.html and used nearly all of that for making wall hangings and whatnot. It's a lot cheaper than what you can get in the stores and it is quite nice
I also would add a thin layer of batting to add depth to the wall hanging as well

I've used both Fast2Fuse and Decor-Bond for wall pieces....quilted the top onto the F2F and then just fused the pre-sleeved backing on and added the binding. Easy.

I like Hobbs 80/20 fusible batt for tablerunners and wallhangings. It keeps the fusible until you wash it. On Wallhangings because I don't wash them it gives a nice flat look.
