Yes, you can double the batting in a quilt and that is another aspect that makes sewing a wonderful hobby. You have lots of options at your disposal and no hard and fast rules on how to use different materials in your sewing or quilting project. We alluded to the 4 different categories of batting earlier and these categories are further split into 2 different types of batting processes. There is the bonded style that uses a resin to stop fiber migration. Then you make your squares like you normally would. If you are a beginner, you can get one of those quilting kits that have your material pre-cut and other supplies you will need. it will also have a pattern for you to follow. While quilts might just be a type of bedding to some, a well-crafted one can also be a work of art worth investing in. Thompson Street Studio is known for their artistic quilts, and the neutral Day Quilt is no exception—the beautiful patchwork design could be displayed in a museum, and the faded, naturally-dyed hues create a calming color palette. If you’re searching for minimalist bedding, you can display the reverse side of your quilt instead which features a geometric design. Ever been overwhelmed by the variety of batting (or wadding) options available or which batting is the right choice for your quilt? This post will discuss how to choose batting for a quilt, including the different kinds of batting options.

Parachute’s Cloud Cotton Quilt is the perfect companion for cooler evenings. Made entirely with long-staple Turkish cotton, it feels uber soft and snuggly against your skin—and, the longer cotton fibers mean that the fabric is less prone to pilling and breakage than shorter ones. It’s filled with polyester, which helps keep you toasty warm, and has a heavier weight that means it can totally replace your comforter. Lastly, Under the Canopy’s quilt is washer and dryer friendly, so you don't have to bother with line drying. Its hassle-free care instructions and supremely soft fabric make it a staple all year round. While this quilt is lightweight and breathable, it still has a comfy feel that you will love. In terms of warmth, we found it to work great on its own in the in-between months, though it proved to be a bit too hot when used during more humid summer weather. That said, if you prefer to use this quilt for decor, it definitely has you covered on that front, too. You can choose from three different colors/stitching options, all of which are reversible and on the more minimalist side. We opted for the navy and white graham, a versatile hue with a subtle texture. The main downside here is price: Linen is more expensive than other fabrics, so this isn't a budget-friendly option. However, The Citizenry offers free fabric swatches so you can get a feel for their linen before you take the plunge. We believe this quilt is worth the cost, given that it manages to be buttery soft, lightweight, well-crafted, and cozy all at once—what more could you want? Many people enjoy the quiet time of reflection during hand quilting. If the quilt is for someone special, they may choose to hand quilt as a display of affection.Next in our Quilt Along Series: we’ll talk about basting and quilting – putting all the layers together. Once again there are lots of options. If you're open to splurging on a luxurious bed cover, the Serena & Lily Baywood Quilt is a great option. Made with a linen-cotton fabric blend, we found this quilt to be soft and welcoming. It has a medium weight that's warm enough for cold winter nights but also breathable enough for the summer months (that is if you choose to sleep with it). Quince’s cotton quilt is GOTS-certified organic, so you can rest assured knowing that it’s made from the highest quality materials. It’s also machine-washable and can be tumbled dry, so cleaning your quilt is as breezy as your new bedding. If you eat in bed or are prone to spilling things, the white fabric of this option might suffer a stain or two. You may have to spend more time spot cleaning your quilt to keep it pristine, but given its quality and affordability compared to other organic quilts, it’s worth the extra care. You'll also want to consider the weight of a quilt's material in addition to the type. As a multi-layered bed cover with a batting-style fill, quilts are somewhat flat with a drapey quality. They're often slightly heavier than down-filled comforters, but this isn't always the case. This post isoriginally part of the Beginning Quilt Series(or How to Make a Quilt from Start to Finish), but options for different types of batting have changed a little since that time and I wanted to update the post. As always – feel free to weigh-in and share your thoughts in the comments. I love when you do because I haven’t tried every product or technique.

The number one reason that most quilters get frustrated and quit is that they hoop the quilt sandwich wrong. In embroidery, you want the fabric taut in the hoop. Tap it, and it makes a drum sound. This defines what the batting is made of. The three most common types of quilt batting are Polyester, 100% Cotton, and Cotton/Poly Blend and each has its own pros and cons. Wool, Bamboo and Silk Batting options have become more available in recent years. These other natural batting options have wonderful qualities, but are usually more expensive.

Tencel is a fabric made from strained tree pulp. While that might not sound super comfortable, we can assure you that West Elm's Tencel quilt is supremely soft and silky to the touch, even more so than a sateen or silk bedspread. This hand-stitched quilt is made from sustainably sourced Tencel that is Fair Trade and Oeko-Tex 100 certified, so it’s free of 400+ harmful chemicals. However, every year women want to learn the hand quilting technique. Whether it is to slow down and enjoy the process or pass on an heirloom, the fact remains that hand quilting has survived the modern world.

Bamboo Batting –eco-friendly, natural fiber. (Typically blended with Cotton which makes it great for breath-ability.) This Maple Leaf quilt was made with Bamboo Blend batting and the texture of the quilting as well as the drape of the quilt are amazing, even for a quilt that is densely-machine-quilted. If your thread is tangling or twisting on itself, first make sure that you are starting with a length of thread no more than about 18″ long. When it comes to choosing a quilt, the material is one of the most important considerations—after all, this is what makes a quilt, a quilt. "Significant for a quilt is that it is a bit stiffer and less malleable than blankets or duvets," says Anki Spets, bedding designer and founder of Area Home. Depending on your look, Spets is partial to materials like linen and cotton, which are as functional as they are easy on the eyes. However, "any stable material will work so long as it can handle the stitching and keep the fill in place," she adds.The recommended size is a 12” hoop. This is small enough to keep in your lap with going past your knees and also very portable. This bedspread is lightweight and breathable yet warm, making it an ideal choice for year-round use. It lays flat and smooths out nicely on the bed, offering a beautiful drape. You can use it in place of a traditional comforter or as an additional layer to your existing bed cover during the chilly season.
