batting 36 inch

When your project is smaller than a bed quilt, batting 36 inch wide is often the easiest, least wasteful choice. This narrower width suits baby quilts, wall hangings, table runners, placemats, tote bags and pot holders, so you can cut what you need without wrestling a huge roll or paying for extra width you will never use.

What to Look for in 36 Inch Wide Batting

The right batting shapes how your finished piece feels, drapes and holds up to washing. Before you buy, consider a few key factors.

Fiber Content

• Cotton batting is breathable, soft and develops a classic crinkled look after washing.
• Polyester batting is lightweight, resilient and resists mildew, making it handy for items that get frequent use.
• Cotton-poly blends offer a balance of natural feel and easy care.

Loft and Finish

Low loft batting gives a flat, traditional look that is ideal for machine quilting and detailed stitching, while higher loft adds puff and warmth. Fusible batting can save time on bags and small projects by holding layers in place as you sew.
