I love wool. It needles wonderfully, keeps me warm in winter & cool in summer. It also is heat resistant. It doesn’t melt the way poly does. Wool rugs are used in front of fire places. Hobbs makes it by the roll or packaged. I hand quilted it and it was like butter while 100% cotton is harder to needle thru by hand. Just thought you wanted to know. Thank you for reporting on this. 🥰

You did a great job explaining these topics, Miriam. I especially enjoyed the description you gave on batting. Since Joanns announced their bankruptcy, they suddenly don't have the batting I love, so I had to choose something new (I usually use Warm and Natural 45 inch wide x 40 yards. I went with bamboo this time-fingers crossed). You're a top-notch teacher.

Hi Miriam! Loving this video 😍 black batting is usually used when the majority of your quilt is made up of dark fabrics so you see less light fibers of the batting bearding through the fabric. I like Quilters dream select and Hobbs Wool batting is lovely and light and drapes nice. I also love Hobbs 80/20 🥰 I changed my KZbin name but this is Deborah 😉 thanks for this video 😊And yes I’d love for you to do a video on the history of quilts so go for it! 🙃Also I’ve known ppl to use old blankets for batting and sheets for the backing. I’ll be using Warm and White cotton batting for the first time on my blue monochromatic quilt 😉 and I like using poly batting for crib quilts bc of the loft

Yes! Let's get quilt nerdy with Mirium! I would love to learn more about the history of quilt making. It is fascinating, especially with regard to pioneers and settlers made quilts to survive the elements! When you talk about backing, I do hope you cover the technique where you do not place a seam down the center when joining 2 pieces together--you actually join 3 pieces together. I prefer this technique if I must join fabrics. I have a link somewhere of a great video where a quilter demonstrates this (I may have shared it with you before). I am considering making a quilt using wool batting because my son lives in a very cold climate and wool not only gives great insulation, but it also breathes. That means people who sweat a lot wont have to worry about getting over heated. Thanks for sharing your insights!

Yes! We definitely need to do a quilt history series. I love learning about how resourceful they were in days gone by. I'm curious, why do you prefer the 3 piece backing method?

Thanks so much for watching!!!

I like to use the fluffier polyester batting for lap quilts, and just tie them for the quliting. It makes them really cozy and warm, and it's not so necessary for them to 'breathe' as much as for a bedspread. I also like to back them with flannel or fleece because it makes them even cozier.

I enjoy learning about the history of quilts. What do you suggest for a medium loft batting ? I am not fond of flat quilts. I like a little body to it. Also I inherited a hand pieces quilt that is over 60 years old and few years ago. The fabrics are so pretty. I purchased wool batting to hand quilt it and it is like butter. I enjoy working with it. It is still a work in progress as I work full time and usually work on it during the cooler months. I am almost done with it though. Thank you for your videos. I am really enjoying them. 😊

Oh wow, what a cool project you get to work on! 🥰 I think if you’re wanting a higher loft you’ll have to get some kind of polyester. As far as I know (I could be wrong) most cotton battings are going to have a low loft. Wool batting like what you’re using is a pretty high lofted batting, so something in between is probably going to be polyester or a polyester blend. I hope that helps! 💖

Hi, Gloria! So no, I’ve never had the Elmer’s school glue gum up the needle. It completely dries and doesn’t remain sticky, which is awesome!

I’ve tried putting Warm and Natural in the dryer to get the wrinkles out, and I’ve also soaked it for small projects to pre-shrink it. Either way, I did not like the fact that the surface of the batting ended up with too many pills on it. Regarding piecing backing: the majority of discussions on KZbin say that if your quilt is going to be long-armed, the seam should be horizontal because a vertical seam creates a ridge as the quilt is rolled on the rollers of the long-arm machine.

Do you have a recommendation on a good type of batting to use when making a baby quilt. I am a new quilter and recently completed my first baby quilt. I used Warm and White (100% cotton) because of a recommendation. 😔 While I am happy with quilt, I am a little disappointed because it seems a little stiffer than I would have liked. The quilting is a meandering heart design, so I am thinking the stiffness was due to the batting selection. It’s for a gift, so not sure if washing it may help. Opinions would be greatly appreciated. Wish I would have seen your video before making th Wed quilt.
@StitchObsessed
@StitchObsessed 9 ай бұрын
Hmmm...the stiffness could be from the quilting. If the quilting is more dense (closer together and more of it), that can cause a quilt to be more stiff. A few washes should hopefully loosen it up for you. I've used Warm and White before, and I don't remember it being too stiff, though my favorite cotton batting is Pellon 100% cotton batting. I hope that helps! Quilting is all about learning from quilt to quilt! No matter what, I'm sure the little one that gets the quilt will love it for years!

Hello! I've definitely found that cotton batting is very warm, though wool would also be a good option. To make a quilt heavy, you could use a thicker fabric for the backing such as a minky or faux fur fabric. I made a quilt for my little sister and she asked for the same specifications haha! So, I used cotton batting and used a super soft, faux fur fabric for the backing, and the quilt was definitely heavy and warm! I hope that helps! Thanks so much for watching!

@@aanniec3188 no, I wouldn’t think the amount of quilting you do will affect the weight of the quilt. More dense stitching may cause the quilt to be a bit more stiff, and depending how dense you stitch, could affect how warm it will be. A quilt that has more air pockets where heat is trapped with be warmer, so if you do super dense quilting, the quilt will be cooler than if you stitched further apart. I hope that helps!

Can you use fleece for batting?

Yes, but it tends to poke through the cotton layers. If you can, try making a small 4 or 6" sample. Make sure to wash that sample 2 times. If you still like it, then go for it! Oh, and you cannot iron it.

Have you ever considered the frequency of different fibers..?? There have been several scientific studies on these frequencies and how these frequencies effect the human body. ❤❤❤

If you use the glue basting method, do you need to wash the quilt before using, or you will feel the glue line?

@StitchObsessed 10 ай бұрын
Yes, I recommend washing your quilt when it is finished to get the glue out. I wash mine in my washing machine with cold water and gentle detergent! The washes out very easily. Pretty cool!

Regarding the quilt history...there is a woman in New Jersey....I can't remember her name or anything, but she auctions historic quilts. You should be able to find her easily. She and her team would be a great resource, for an interview or something.

I do not like the fusible batting , I bought 3 rolls, for queen size quilts, the first fusible worked well, the other 2 rolls did not stick, I contacted Hobbs where I bought it from, they were no help wh6 it didn't work, yes it was expensive, and a waste of money, my favorite batting is warm and natural 100 percent cotton. I have used blanket remnant, flannel, new fluffy blanket all for batting. Backing I have used old sheets

I bet they used old clothing and horse blankets. Plus if they knew a sheep farmer and he had excess wool they used a light layer of wool. That would have been so warm. Warmer than cotton. For sure. An please please let us have a history lesson on quilting. And I won't use anything with polyester in it. It makes me sweat if it has any polyester in it at all

Have you ever used double batting on a quilt?
@StitchObsessed
@StitchObsessed 10 ай бұрын
Hmmm 🤔 I don’t think I ever have. That would work though if you wanted a thicker, denser quilt.

Show quilts often use double batting so the quilt stitches photograph well. It makes them heavy. I saw that in an interview with Tula Pink. All her quilts used to demonstrate her fabric collections are double batted.
