You did a great job explaining these topics, Miriam. I especially enjoyed the description you gave on batting. Since Joanns announced their bankruptcy, they suddenly don't have the batting I love, so I had to choose something new (I usually use Warm and Natural 45 inch wide x 40 yards. I went with bamboo this time-fingers crossed). You're a top-notch teacher.
I made a tshirt quilt for a graduation gift. I used msqc quilt kit and luxe fleece from joanns on the back no batting. It turned out so soft and cuddly!
Oh yeah that luxe fleece is soooo soft! I used it for a quilt for my sister and it’s held up SO well! Its just an added layer (pun intended) of coziness 🥰
I love wool. It needles wonderfully, keeps me warm in winter & cool in summer. It also is heat resistant. It doesn’t melt the way poly does. Wool rugs are used in front of fire places. Hobbs makes it by the roll or packaged. I hand quilted it and it was like butter while 100% cotton is harder to needle thru by hand. Just thought you wanted to know. Thank you for reporting on this. 🥰
Excellent series! We tried the glue basting technique and it made quilting so much easier! A fun experience rather than a frustrating experience! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I have used the fuseable batting it is nice but very thin for a quilt. Good for wall hangings . I bought it on sale and it was nice but I really like your glue basting method. Thank you so many quilts getting done.
Would love to see you give the thick wool batting a go and do some really cool textures and height differences! Excited for the next video. I’m needing some fresh perspective/ideas on what I can do on my home machine. שלום!
Silk batting, used for very special quilts and has beautiful drape, and low loft. Connecting Threads sells it. Hugs'n love from your upstate NY fan ❤ 🤗🥰
Hi Miriam! Loving this video 😍 black batting is usually used when the majority of your quilt is made up of dark fabrics so you see less light fibers of the batting bearding through the fabric. I like Quilters dream select and Hobbs Wool batting is lovely and light and drapes nice. I also love Hobbs 80/20 🥰 I changed my UA-cam name but this is Deborah 😉 thanks for this video 😊And yes I’d love for you to do a video on the history of quilts so go for it! 🙃Also I’ve known ppl to use old blankets for batting and sheets for the backing. I’ll be using Warm and White cotton batting for the first time on my blue monochromatic quilt 😉 and I like using poly batting for crib quilts bc of the loft
Oh hey, Deborah! 💖 can’t wait to see that blue monochromatic quilt finished! 😍 and I take your message as complete permission to do a deep study into quilt history 🤓😂 thank you for sharing all this info! I’ll keep that in mind for the black batting, I might wanna do a dark quilt here in the near future 🫣
I love Dream Bamboo. It's a mix of cotton, bamboo, silk and Tercel. Beautiful drape and handles similar to 100% cotton batting but with slightly more loft. Cool in summer and warm in winter.
I usually use a bamboo cotton blend or a bamboo silk blend - both are very nice. And Imade one quilt with wool. I am A hand quilter and all three of those types work well for that.
There is also kapok batting. It is a natural fibre from a plant. I also think you could get wood batting, as viscous is made from wood, and they could make a batting from it. Great video thanks 😊
I made a scrap string quilt and i loved it. I used poly batting and fleece on the back and hand quilted it. It is so heavy and hot that i dont use it. I am in north east indiana and it gets cold here. But it is still too hot for me! Lol!
Yes! Let's get quilt nerdy with Mirium! I would love to learn more about the history of quilt making. It is fascinating, especially with regard to pioneers and settlers made quilts to survive the elements! When you talk about backing, I do hope you cover the technique where you do not place a seam down the center when joining 2 pieces together--you actually join 3 pieces together. I prefer this technique if I must join fabrics. I have a link somewhere of a great video where a quilter demonstrates this (I may have shared it with you before). I am considering making a quilt using wool batting because my son lives in a very cold climate and wool not only gives great insulation, but it also breathes. That means people who sweat a lot wont have to worry about getting over heated. Thanks for sharing your insights!
Yes! We definitely need to do a quilt history series. I love learning about how resourceful they were in days gone by. I'm curious, why do you prefer the 3 piece backing method? I've seen some people do it, but I'm curious about what the advantage is! The wool definitely gives a very cozy feel, and you are absolutely right. It's insulated yet very breathable. Thanks so much for watching!!!
It is thought that having a seam down the center is the weakest area for a seam...because it goes down the center, supposedly it is exposed to more stress. Made sense to me! @@StitchObsessed
I like to use the fluffier polyester batting for lap quilts, and just tie them for the quliting. It makes them really cozy and warm, and it's not so necessary for them to 'breathe' as much as for a bedspread. I also like to back them with flannel or fleece because it makes them even cozier.
I’ve tried putting Warm and Natural in the dryer to get the wrinkles out, and I’ve also soaked it for small projects to pre-shrink it. Either way, I did not like the fact that the surface of the batting ended up with too many pills on it. Regarding piecing backing: the majority of discussions on UA-cam say that if your quilt is going to be long-armed, the seam should be horizontal because a vertical seam creates a ridge as the quilt is rolled on the rollers of the long-arm machine.
I ❤ QUILTS and QUILTING❣️❣️💝💝Please Miriam DO a video on antique quilts❣️❣️Thoroughly ENJOY listening and learning from YOU MIRIAM❣️❣️😍😊Have a GREAT WEEKEND TOO❣️❣️🌿
Have you ever considered the frequency of different fibers..?? There have been several scientific studies on these frequencies and how these frequencies effect the human body. ❤❤❤
Regarding the quilt history...there is a woman in New Jersey....I can't remember her name or anything, but she auctions historic quilts. You should be able to find her easily. She and her team would be a great resource, for an interview or something.
I believe they say that if you are sending your quilt to a long armer they would like at least an extra 4 inches on all sides so they can load it on their machines. i usually just add 1 12-2 inches on my home machine.
Hi Mirriam! You mentioned vintage quilts... karen Brown at just get it done quilts has an interesting interview series and she has 2 different ladies she interviewed that are into this! You should have a look.
You need extra batting and backing if you are quilting with a longarm...just a bit extra for domestic machine quilting😊 Also not sure about washing wool batting ?
Okay! That makes sense needing more batting and backing for a longarm since they roll and clip the layers. Thank you for the clarification! And yes, I wouldn’t wash wool batting either, unless the manufacturer recommended it for some reason. I think the wool batting I used actually was dry clean only, if I remember correctly 🤔
Thank you, Valerie! I think a couple of people have commented on silk batting and said they love it. It gives a beautiful drape and is low loft. I haven't personally used it before, but it sounds lovely. Thanks so much for watching!
Do you have a recommendation on a good type of batting to use when making a baby quilt. I am a new quilter and recently completed my first baby quilt. I used Warm and White (100% cotton) because of a recommendation. 😔 While I am happy with quilt, I am a little disappointed because it seems a little stiffer than I would have liked. The quilting is a meandering heart design, so I am thinking the stiffness was due to the batting selection. It’s for a gift, so not sure if washing it may help. Opinions would be greatly appreciated. Wish I would have seen your video before making th Wed quilt.
Hmmm...the stiffness could be from the quilting. If the quilting is more dense (closer together and more of it), that can cause a quilt to be more stiff. A few washes should hopefully loosen it up for you. I've used Warm and White before, and I don't remember it being too stiff, though my favorite cotton batting is Pellon 100% cotton batting. I hope that helps! Quilting is all about learning from quilt to quilt! No matter what, I'm sure the little one that gets the quilt will love it for years!
I do not like the fusible batting , I bought 3 rolls, for queen size quilts, the first fusible worked well, the other 2 rolls did not stick, I contacted Hobbs where I bought it from, they were no help wh6 it didn't work, yes it was expensive, and a waste of money, my favorite batting is warm and natural 100 percent cotton. I have used blanket remnant, flannel, new fluffy blanket all for batting. Backing I have used old sheets
Hi, is fusible fleece used to make quilts or is it just for like other crafting projects? I purchased a bolt of it for making something like book covers, but now I can't really remember. Just wondered if you might have some advice. Thanks for this video. I've learned a lot of stuff about batting that I didn't know. :) I looked on Missouri star website and it seems the fusible fleece isn't really for quilt making. Boy, I feel dumb. sorry.
Hey Ann! I’ve definitely heard of fusible batting for quilts, so I’m not sure if your fusible fleece is the same thing? So if it’s thinner, it might be better for stabilizing instead of batting for a quilt; if that makes sense? Don’t feel dumb! You don’t know what you don’t know. That doesn’t make you dumb, ya live and ya learn! 💖🤓
I have been asked to make a quilt “heavy and warm”. Which batting would you suggest? And any other suggestions you may have to accomplish this. Thank you.
Hello! I've definitely found that cotton batting is very warm, though wool would also be a good option. To make a quilt heavy, you could use a thicker fabric for the backing such as a minky or faux fur fabric. I made a quilt for my little sister and she asked for the same specifications haha! So, I used cotton batting and used a super soft, faux fur fabric for the backing, and the quilt was definitely heavy and warm! I hope that helps! Thanks so much for watching!
@@aanniec3188 no, I wouldn’t think the amount of quilting you do will affect the weight of the quilt. More dense stitching may cause the quilt to be a bit more stiff, and depending how dense you stitch, could affect how warm it will be. A quilt that has more air pockets where heat is trapped with be warmer, so if you do super dense quilting, the quilt will be cooler than if you stitched further apart. I hope that helps!
Yes, I recommend washing your quilt when it is finished to get the glue out. I wash mine in my washing machine with cold water and gentle detergent! The washes out very easily. Pretty cool!
That’s a great question! Some would say, yes, some would say it doesn’t matter. For me, when using cotton batting, you can definitely feel a difference between the two sides. I usually use the softer side for the quilt top, and the “ courser” side for the back. That’s my two cents on the topic!
The discount link is in the description box of this video. It will take you to their website, you can shop like normal, then when you go to check out, the discount is automatically applied to your cart. You’ll get 20% off any $50+ order! Enjoy! 💖
Yes, but it tends to poke through the cotton layers. If you can, try making a small 4 or 6" sample. Make sure to wash that sample 2 times. If you still like it, then go for it! Oh, and you cannot iron it.
Yes! Please do the history of quilting!
Say no more! 😂 I love learning about the craft. It’s so fascinating!
Yes, please do a series on that. I'd really appreciate that 🙏
I'm 79 years old and I really enjoy listening to your podcast.
I’m so glad! Thank you so much 💖
Quilt history would be very interesting😊

Oooo, Donna, I definitely wanna hear your thoughts on the bamboo batting! Thank you so much 💖
You will love that bamboo it quilts so lovely. I love it and I live using just flannel yo it drapes and wears excellent and price is right
I love the bamboo batting. Quilts out beautifully.
I made a tshirt quilt for a graduation gift. I used msqc quilt kit and luxe fleece from joanns on the back no batting. It turned out so soft and cuddly!
Oh yeah that luxe fleece is soooo soft! I used it for a quilt for my sister and it’s held up SO well! Its just an added layer (pun intended) of coziness 🥰
Yes, about research on old quilts

Quilt History would be awesome. I love your teaching style. I have been quilt about 15 years, but have learned a lot from you!!!
I'm so glad! Thank you! And I will definitely be doing a few videos on quilt history!
Yes please!!! I'd love to learn more about the history of quilting!
I love your channel! You're so incredibly informative on quilting! Can you discuss making a qulit with all flannel? And flannel with cotton?
Absolutely! I actually get quite a few questions about flannel, so that would make a great video on its own. Thank you so much for watching 💖

Oooo that sounds super cozy 😍 thank you for sharing!
When we were repairing my Aunts quilt, we found they used horse blankets as batting.
Oh wow! That’s awesome! Those would definitely keep you warm!
Or goose feathers!
Yes, love history!
Yes, a history lesson would be interesting.
It’s coming!!!🤓
I usually use a bamboo cotton blend or a bamboo silk blend - both are very nice. And Imade one quilt with wool. I am A hand quilter and all three of those types work well for that.
People definitely use leather, sometimes. I like your idea to use outdoor fabric. You can even use painter's cloth for outdoor use.
There is also kapok batting. It is a natural fibre from a plant. I also think you could get wood batting, as viscous is made from wood, and they could make a batting from it. Great video thanks 😊
Very cool! I gotta look those up!
It is made in China.
Great advice hun, new quilter...
Yay! Welcome to the quilting party! If you ever have questions, I'm happy to help!

My dad said his mom used old army blankets (after WW1 and WW2, men brought those home with them) or sheets of felt.
Yes! I’ve heard that as well! Wow, what a cool surprise to find in an old quilt, right?
The extra batting and backing is mostly for longarm quilting ❤
❤❤❤
In one of my early quilts, I used an old Army blanket for batting. Whatever you have.
That’s awesome!!!
