polyester batting by the yard
Buying polyester batting by the yard lets you cut exactly what your project needs, whether that is a full-size quilt, a set of placemats or a stack of pillow covers. Polyester is lightweight, holds its shape and resists mildew. It is also easy to wash, so it is a dependable choice for everyday quilts and crafts.
Why Choose Polyester Quilt Batting
Poly batting adds warmth without much weight. It also tends to hold up well through repeated washing. It is often a budget-friendly option for large projects and kids' quilts.
Low Loft vs. High Loft Batting
- Low loft batting is thin and flat. It works well for machine quilting, wall hangings, table runners and bags.
- High loft batting is thick and puffy. Use it for tied comforters, cozy throws and plush projects.
What to Look For
Check the loft and the recommended quilting distance listed for each batting. Make sure the width covers your quilt top with a few extra inches on every side. A bonded or needled finish helps keep fibers from shifting or bearding over time.
