Me too! I use the leftover batting from quilts, sew them together and then SID and no one is any the wiser and I am using up all the batting, which is not that cheap!!!!! Edie

I have used a medium weight white felt for my table runners. It seems to stabilize them but is not too thick. It may not be the right thing to use, but to me, batting made them to unstable when something was placed on them.

When using insulbright which side is up? Also, if you use batting with insulbright do you put it on top or the bottom?

I use a pellon product called Armo? It was recomended by a quilt teacher. I get it when interfacing is on sale at Joannes. Use it for purses too.

I keep the less worn sections of old flannel sheets for just ths purpose. It adds just the right amount of body for quilting, without adding lumpiness. Plus, I get the smile factor knowing I recycled something.

Hi.
A few weeks ago I asked for ideas for table runner patterns.
I was pleased with the replies.
I now have a few runner tops made. My question is should I use batting? If yes, then what type?
It would seem that batting would make the runner a bit 'bumpy' and I don't think I'd want that. But I'd like some body to them.
What do you do?
