L'AteLier d'Eole - Créateur & fabricant d'ouvrages à broder et à coudre depuis 1998. The Stencil Store. Quilt Along Series: Quilt Batting and Backs. Basically the definition of a quilt is a blanket made of a top (front) and back with a layer of batting sandwiched in between and held together by some kind of stitching through all three layers. Today we are going to discuss choosing batting and backs. There is a wide variety of quilt battings available on the market. Like everything else, the variety can get overwhelming so I’m going to break down some of the differences so that you can pick the batting best suited to the project you have in mind.
The two most relevant factors in choosing a batting are Loft and Fibers. First off – Loft. Low Loft = thin and High Loft = thick. Fiber defines what the batting is made of. Polyester - Less expensive, better for hand-quilting (low loft), doesn’t need to be quilted as closely together. Batting can be purchased by individual size (you will need a “crib size” batt for this project), or big sewing stores will also let you buy it by the yard (get 1 ¼ yards).
Now let’s talk backs.
