on a slightly different note, I would tell newbies that when you buy batting and use only bits of it, label the rest. I've just completed most of a quilt, but I cannot recall for the life of me what the batting is exactly (having used some of the batting for another project). Some of the quilting is about 4" apart. Is that too wide? Dang. I have no idea. So label your leftover batting!
I keep all my left over batting in it's original packaging no matter how small the left over is, that way I can match up the fabric content and the recommended spacing of quilting. Speaking of this I can't wait to move into my bigger sewing room so I can spread it all out, right now all my batting is squished into an antique armour
