Quilting Design
#1
Here is a topic I am not familiar with. If I want a quilt to show the quilt is "fluffy" when it is quilted what type of quilt design pattern works best. I would like the quilt to puff up and not be flat. I thought of just meandering but on a large scale or is it you use small scale to show the fluffyness?

If you pin your batting, backing and top as one and then iron, it will compact the batting and allow you a little more freedom in choosing a quilting pattern. In some cases, the scrim on the batting will sort of seal the layers together. To release the batting to then "poof", either spritz heavily with water or drop in the washing machine and dry. If you stitch in the ditch, be sure to use your walking foot.
Obviously, try a sampling first before an entire quilt.

It's not the quilting design, it's the batting that makes a difference in how the quilting looks. If you want really poofy then use a high loft poly. If you just want some definition to the quilting try Hobbs Heirloom.
