Patchwork Quilt Wadding

There are many different types of Quilt Wadding (called Batting in the U.S.) each suitable for different uses.

• 100% cotton - soft finish, heirloom quilts, 5% shrinkage
• 100% polyester - functional items, bags, cushion covers, no shrinkage
• 80/20 cotton/poly mix - soft, but less shrinkage than all cotton, good for hand quilting
• Ultra-thin wadding - drapable, good for clothes, throws, tablecloths
• Heat-Resistant - Good for tableware, hard to hand quilt

Try different types and different makes to find the ones you like best.
