Get to know the ins and outs of batting to help you on your next project.
Batting gives quilts their cuddliness and that oh-so-coveted crinkly texture right when they come out of the dryer. It's important to choose the right batting loft and fiber contents for your quilt's end use. For quilts that will see a lot of wear, use a poly blend batting in a low loft that can be washed many times. For an heirloom quilt for cold winter nights, pick a lofty wool.
