Really good information. As a relatively new quilter, I learned a lot and appreciate the time you took to explain these different kinds of batting. I was guessing what to use with what little common sense I have. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much for your easy to understand batting products. It makes me understand the different between them. Now I have a clear reference to look at before i purchased my batting for my proyects.
THIS is the video, containing all the information I‘ve been looking for, in weeks...😍! Thank you so much for explaining it all so understandably and beginner friendly. Will be referring to it for ever! 👍🏻
Thank you! I needed help understanding batting. I had no idea what bonded batting was and so glad you shared because now I know it would be better to use bonded instead of poly regular
See if I can get those many varieties of batting style here in Jogjakarta. Thank you for the video. It's nice also your background. Really hommy. Salam.
Thank you Nancy for this video! I was also wanting to know with 80/20 wadding which has scrim on it, which way does the scrim side go? I am very new to quilting and am working on my first quilt and have ordered this wadding! I hope that you can advise me please!
Thanks so much for this information! I've recently discovered paper piecing for using up my scraps and I love the quilt as you go method. And thanks for the description of bearding, you answered before I could ask...(0;
I am making a mermaid and hexagon quilt and would like to after its done sewing to kind of bubble a little. I plan on having this on my bed. I am new to quilting and have no idea about batting. I would be using a regular sewing machine and would like to do some free stiching on it (I may get that part professionally done idk yet) what batting would you recommend?
Hi, May I ask what scrim is. I have some 100% cotton batting that contains scrim. I am wondering if I can use it for craft ideas that go into a microwave. Thankyou
hi! i'm new to quilting. i have a few tucks in the backing caught in my machine quilting - i need to pick the stitches and re-do those little areas. how best can i do this successfully so the original stitches will hold but they won't be obvious on the top or back?
Hi Margaret! First, pick out the mistakes: go a little further with the picking than just the immediate area so you have a better time easing the tucks back in. Hand basting about a 1/4" from where you'll be quilting can help keep those tucks eased as you machine stitch--just pull the basting out when you're done. Then, start with a lockstitch about 1/2" over the original stitching (many machines have this feature--if yours doesn't, backstitch about 2 stitches to start and then stitch forward). Continue quilting in the picked out area, being careful to ease your tucks in evenly. End by stitching 1/2" over the other end of your original stitching and finish with a lockstitch or some backstitching. Does that make sense? :)
yes! thank you for great instructions. this worked perfectly, though i hand-stitched to fill in... everything else was essentially the same. thank you so much for the guidance!
Hi Geo'De Crochet, No you do not need to prewash the batting. If you are making a quilt that will be used and washed several times, then we recommend prewashing your fabrics. The batting will adjust with the fabric as it is washed depending on the amount of quilting that is done to the quilt. If you have any additional questions on this, please feel free to reach out to our Sewing and Product Advisors: www.nancysnotions.com/jump.do?itemID=5&itemType=LANDING&page=sewing_prod_advisor Thanks for watching and commenting! :)
Hi Kate! Good question. Bamboo batting is a rayon--which means that even though it's technically a synthetic, it's made from natural fibers and is therefore comfy and breathable. Plus, it's not as nubbly as cotton. :) We carry a great fusible rayon batting here: www.nancysnotions.com/product/36+x+45+inch+fusi+boo+fusible+batting.do?extid=%22&G56&%22&code=NNOADV-1320
Can anyone tell me which batting I should use with coasters, that will absorb condensation? I used 100% cotton and it's just so bulky. One lady I watched used 80/20, the other used the fusible, which one is best? Or should I just use felt? Please help, I'm new to sewing and 68 but I'm watching the tutorials, love them. Thanks in advance
K Mcleod Thank you! I bought some of that. Does that mean 20 polyester and 80 cotton? Hate to sound stupid but I know absolutely nothing, leading it all on youtube
VERY helpful for a new quilter! Thank you!
