polyester padding by the yard
Buying polyester padding by the yard gives you exactly the amount of cushioning a project needs, whether you're finishing a quilt, re-covering a dining chair, or sewing a padded tote. Polyester batting is lightweight, resists mildew, and holds its shape through washing, making it a dependable choice for both beginners and seasoned sewists.
Why Choose Polyester Padding
Compared with natural fibers, poly batting is generally easy to care for and less prone to shrinking. It adds warmth and structure without much weight, and its consistent thickness makes cutting and layering straightforward.
What to Look For
Loft and Thickness
Low loft batting lies flat and suits quilts with dense stitching, placemats, and garments. High loft batting offers plush volume for comforters, pillow wraps, and upholstery padding.
Width and Finish
Check the width before you order so a single piece can cover your project without seams. Some fiberfill padding is bonded or needle-punched to reduce shifting and fiber migration.
Popular Uses
- Quilt batting for bed and lap quilts
- Chair seats, headboards, and bench cushions
