Which batting should I use to avoid buckling and rumpling later when I wash the runner? If I prewash Warm and Natural batting, will it lay flat when I wash the runner later?

Thanks, Nancy.

More dense quilting will have a bigger impact than choice of batting. You should still try to use a low loft batting (like W&N, quilters dream cotton, etc). Quilt densely and when washed don't dry, let it dry flat, blocking if necessary.

Pellon fleece interfacing is my batting of choice fro placemats and tablerunners. the non fusible washes wonderfully.

I like to use Thermolam in my runners.

Here's my table runner which is made using Pellon fleece, thanks to Irishrose2. Easy to quilt and laying totally flat. Woo hoo!!

Your table runner is beyond beautiful! The time and patience to do this piece of art is evident in the finished product. I would have a hard time putting on a table. It would find a wall somewhere even if some other quilt had to come down. Great work.
