Quilting Design
#13
Close quilting will make the quilt flat, no matter what type of batting you use. For a poofy quilt, use a high loft batting and don't quilt closely. SID or meander or pattern - doesn't matter as long as the quilting is not close together.

I'm with Fran --- higher loft batting and quilting in a LARGE meandering design -- or whatever design. I just did a quilt that had a tight design and it was FLAT.......I had experimented on high loft batting and it was okay -- big difference!!!

To make a quilt puffier, don't do the quilting close together. In a kit I bought that needed quilting, the suggestion was made not to use a hoop, the areas between the quilting would be puffier and they are. Some areas are only a half inch apart and they are puffier, I did not use the extra loft batting. Try it
