poly fiber batting
Poly fiber batting is the go-to filler for sewists who want soft, lightweight warmth without fussy care. It is made from polyester fibers, so it resists mildew, holds its shape after washing and won't shrink the way some natural fibers can. That makes it a dependable choice for everything from heirloom quilts to quick weekend craft projects.
Why Choose Polyester Batting
Polyester batting is valued for its consistent loft, easy handling and budget-friendly feel. It drapes nicely in quilts, adds cushion to placemats and gives structure to bags and fabric baskets.
Low Loft vs. High Loft
- Low loft batting lies flat and thin, ideal for wall hangings, table runners and detailed machine quilting.
- High loft batting is puffy and plush, perfect for comforters, tied quilts and extra-cozy throws.
What to Look For
When comparing quilt batting, check the thickness, the recommended quilting distance and whether it is sold precut or as batting by the yard. For stuffed items like pillows and toys, loose polyester fiberfill pairs well with sheet batting for smooth, even shaping.
