polyfill batting
Whether you're finishing a quilt, padding a tote bag, or adding warmth to a winter jacket, polyfill batting is the dependable middle layer that gives your project body and softness. Made from polyester fibers, it's lightweight, easy to care for, and resists mildew. That makes it a favorite for everyday sewing. Its loose cousin, polyester fiberfill, is the go-to for stuffing pillows and plush toys.
Why Choose Polyester Batting?
Polyester batting tends to hold its shape through repeated washing and typically shows little shrinkage, so finished pieces keep their crisp look. It's also a practical, non-animal fiber option for quilters who want easy upkeep.
Low Loft vs. High Loft Batting
Low loft batting is thin and flat. It's ideal for wall hangings, placemats, and garments where you want clean stitch definition. High loft batting is thicker and puffier, perfect for cozy comforters, tied quilts, and plush home décor.
What to Look For
- Loft: match thickness to the drape and warmth you want.
- Size: choose batting by the yard or precut packages to fit your quilt top.
- Construction: bonded or needle-punched quilt batting helps limit fiber shifting.
