Quilting Basics #6: The ULTIMATE Guide To Quilt Batting and Quilt Backing!

Yes! Please do the history of quilting!

Quilt history would be very interesting😊

I'm 79 years old and I really enjoy listening to your podcast.

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!

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.

Wow, Hi Miriam. Just found you today. Great videos on glue basting and batting. Thank you from Ottawa, Canada

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.

Yes, about research on old quilts

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 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. 🥰

When we were repairing my Aunts quilt, we found they used horse blankets as batting.

Yes please!!! I'd love to learn more about the history of quilting!

Will give pellon a try. Thank for the tips

I love your channel! You're so incredibly informative on quilting! Can you discuss making a qulit with all flannel? And flannel with cotton?

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.

Quilt History would be awesome. I love your teaching style. I have been quilt about 15 years, but have learned a lot from you!!!

Yes, love history!

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!

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 YouTube 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
