I always use the tipping wine glass as a guide for tableclothes, runners, placemats, etc. Often I just use a flannel backing to give it the softness and thicker feeling without the loft that could cause a problem.

The perfect question at the right time for me as I'm just finishing up a table topper. I used Hobbs all cotton batting which is really thin and with quilting it is laying nice and flat. I agree that delicate stemware might be at risk, but this topper is for a family with three little boys and a folksy flavor design so I don't think that will come into play.

I use quilters dream in all my table cloths and have never had a problem. I have a quilted table cloth on my table at all times, have about a dozen.

IMO, a (very) thin batting (like a layer of thin fleece) can actually help with the tipping glass issue, as it gives a spot for a lumpy seam junction to press down into.

I would say either use a very thin batting (or use fleece as the backing, perhaps?); or make sure to flatten (open, furl) your seam junctions as much as you possibly can.

I don't have a quilted tablecloth, but I do have a few quilted placemats; I used Insulbrite inside of those and they're very flat - nothing is even slightly tippy on them. I did pretty dense FMQ over them, which I think helps with the flatness too.

I wouldn't think that a thin batting would be any more prone to making your stemware tip over than the table protector I use regularly. I like the idea of backing it with a sturdy damask so it's reversible. Flannel also makes a nice thin batting substitute.
