polyester wadding by the yard
Buying polyester wadding by the yard lets you cut exactly what your project needs. You can pad a full-size quilt, a set of dining chair seats or a handful of holiday ornaments without wasting a pre-cut pack. Polyester wadding is lightweight, holds its shape and resists mildew, so it is a dependable choice for beginners and seasoned makers alike.
Why Choose Polyester Wadding?
Polyester batting stays springy after washing and costs less than many natural fibers. It is also a good option for anyone who prefers a non-animal filling. It adds warmth and body without much weight, which is why quilters, upholsterers and crafters keep it on hand.
What to Look For
- Loft: Low loft batting gives a flat, crisp finish for quilts and garments. High loft wadding adds plush depth for comforters and cushions.
- Width: Wider rolls cover large quilts in one piece, so you avoid seams in the filling.
- Finish: Bonded or needle-punched wadding resists shifting and is easier to stitch.
Popular Uses
Use quilt wadding for bed covers and wall hangings. Choose upholstery wadding to soften headboards and seat pads, and try polyester padding fabric for bags, placemats and soft toys.
