batting online
Buying batting online is the easiest way to compare fibers, lofts, and sizes without guessing at a store shelf. The layer between your quilt top and backing shapes warmth, drape, and how your stitching looks, so choosing well makes every project better.
What to Look for in Quilt Batting
Fiber Content
Cotton batting is breathable, soft, and gives quilts a classic, flat look that crinkles nicely after washing. Polyester batting is lightweight, holds its shape, and resists mildew. Wool batting adds warmth with little weight and recovers from folding well. A cotton poly blend batting offers a middle ground of softness and durability.
Loft and Thickness
Low loft batting suits wall hangings, table runners, and detailed machine quilting. Higher loft works for cozy comforters and tied quilts where puffiness is the goal.
Size and Format
Choose precut packages for standard quilt sizes, or buy batting by the yard for custom projects and smaller pieces.
Quick Tips Before You Buy
- Check the recommended quilting distance on the label.
