Quilt Batting Types | Quilting FAQs with Amy Gibson

[@andredemers69]

one thing important to say is that if people hand quilt they will get longer stitches if thicker batting. ;-) Dominique

I am currently working on the hexagon bed quilt pattern by Amy Gibson featured in her craftsy class And the pattern comes with the template included and for the background you need about 3 1/2 yards of fabric and then you cut the background 22 strips that are 4 inch and then you cut triangle out of the background strips you cut with the triangle pattern template included in the hexagon quilt pattern and I found that I have a 60 degree pyramid ruler by omnigrid that goes up to 4 inches but the ruler as the tip cut off the top of the ruler and the pattern piece included in the hexagon quilt pattern shows a full triangle with no point cut off so dose it make a difference weather I use the ruler with the triangle tip cut off of do I have to use the recommended pattern triangle template included in the hexagon quilt pattern and also if someone has some this quilt before or is working on it right now I would love your finished quilt or your work in progress on your hexagon quilt by Amy Gibson and if anyone has tips on how to sew hexagons together and how to make a hexagon quilt I would love it if you can give me tips since I’m a beginner on sewing hexagons together Thanks 🙏

I remember older quilts with higher loft, absolutely hate flat quilts.

[@sgtpepper.6511]

Older quilts used kapok. It was a natural plant fiber.

[@antoinette-mays]

I remember that too. It doesn’t look like a quilt to me if it’s flat.

[@still-jlynn]

I used poly on my quilt. The bag did not say bonded or needle punched. The fibers come through the material really bad, looks terrible. Later I heard that needle punched will do that. Do you know any tricks to stop that? maybe washing it will stop it?

[@cathyguzick279]

How can you tell the difference between cotton batting and regular batting

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

Which is warmest? Which is better for hand quilting?

[@keturahspencer]

Wool is the warmest.

[@debraward7275]

Great!😘

[@peatmoss2108]

Why does the batting come through to the back of my quilt when I long arm quilt it?

[@2010stoof]

There are no videos about 100% cotton that isn't needle punched. I ordered that without knowing. Some reviews say have to be careful because it can pull apart. But most have poly in it and the projects I'm doing need to be all cotton to survive microwave lol.

[@cvetakzanovetak9058]

Thanks, I wonder what is inside quilt, now I know.

[@carolinapinzon6736]

This calmed my urge to rip open every thing that i saw quilted just cuz i wanted to see what was inside

[@SonnetGomes]

Thank you so much for posing this. I was looking for this material for an antique box I am building, but I had no idea what it was really called. I think now I should be able to find what I need.

[@yearofthegarden]

holy crap you forgot to mention the basics and talked about everything in regards to it's moronic esthetics. loft gives more clo, which is the heat retention level that the air gaps provide in that loft. sure it might be puffier but it will obviously be warmer, which is a simple truth you missed completely. Not to mention that cotton when wet stays wet, and will wick away your body heat when wet, wool can dry when wet, does not retain odor, and retains some heat when wet, poly does not retain moisture but will breath is quickly and holds heat when wet.

[@loriransom4635]

Oh my.. wonderful information. Daughter just asked if I can make her quilt warmer.

[@annies805]

Moronic aesthetics? Good grief! Then take a bed sheet and quilt it. Hang pieces of trash on your wall, who cares about bondo on your car, just nail a board over that broken window??? Most people who take the time to piece and sew a quilt are making a functional work of art. There is nothing moronic about wanting something to come out the way you envision it, after spending a tremendous amount of time making it! Not everyone is going camping with their quilt. I like having a pretty cotton quilt that I can use even in the summer, and pair with a comforter in the winter.

[@treeglass]

Why would I need a wet quilt?

[@2010stoof]

The cotton you showed won't work for microwave type projects since it does have 12% poly in it.

[@lanettegoodman2327]

Can you use. anti pill fleece?

[@veronicasteyn4777]

Can one use different material for quilting

[@annies805]

I know you asked this long ago, but thought I'd take a chance you or someone else might be interested. My great grandmother was very frugal. Nothing went to waste. She hand sewed postage stamp quilts that lasted forever! She used a all of her old bed sheets in layers, instead of batting. The quilts were heavy and warm. There was tiny puckering around stitches, could even be washed in hot water, for those with allergies. Of course she had six kids and had lots of bedding materials...

[@RMFtheclumsy]

These battings are unreal.

[@jeanettewaverly2590]

Good information. TFS!

[@sgtpepper.6511]

You really need to study the frequencies of fibers. And how those frequencies effect the human body. There have been many studies on this subject. ❤❤❤

[@LMAO-ef3ip]

what about for ponds?
