Batting

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.

    I made several hot pads with this material. It is easy to work with and very light. However, when tested in my kitchen it held up to my standard well. I can move hot items out of the oven and set them on the hot pad without damage to my counter. The insulation works well. I made table top serving pads so I can set pans or bowls hot from the microwave directly on the table. Remember you can't use this IN the microwave because of the metalized polyester. My only regret that I didn't buy more of it at the time.

    This is not the kind of insul-bright I'm used to using. So I put a layer of this product and a layer of the regular insul-bright I usually use. It works great. I've seen where some reviews say it works great as a ironing mat. I'm going to try that.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Works as an ironing mat!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2019

    Made an ironing pad out of this. I used one layer of this and one layer of regular cotton fabric on each side. This works pretty well, though some heat does make it through to the other side. I tried both sides of my mat to see if there's a right/wrong side to the fabric -- I think there might be?

    In any case, this definitely protects whatever underneath it. I iron dry so can't say if it stops moisture from getting through.

    This does crinkle loudly, which I didn't expect. Kind of like a chip bag but quieter. Also not sure if I should store it folded up, as it seems to remember creases decent well.

    I purchased this to make pot holders as Christmas gifts for family members. I absolutely love this stuff and will probably order more to continue making potholders as well as oven mits. It’s very easy to work with! It cuts easily with my scissors, as well as my rotary cutter. It goes through my sewing machine much easier than I expected. I’m fairly new to sewing, and I would recommend this to people if all sewing skills. It does not shrink in the wash, so your completed projects will not be ruined. This is truly a nice product.
