non quilting use for batting
#11
Our quilting group makes pillows 12"x12" for hospice patients. We have a lot of leftover batting scraps from the quilts we also make for them so we shred it finely and use it for stuffing the pillows. Be sure and wear a mask if you do this.

I stuff my swifter duster handle down into a piece of batting to de-fuzz my ceiling fan. I have to de-fuzz it because malamute hair sticks to everything. Good thing I love my dog. Lol.

I don't think I'd put any kind of fabric or batting inside a switch. Switches sometimes spark, and fabric burns. Nope, not something I would even remotely consider, although my DH probably would. I'd spend a few bucks on the right part for the switch and sleep better at night.

The product that was there looked very much like a polyester batting type product and since the furnace is 25 years old (had to ask him when we put it in) it just wore in that spot. Maybe that's why he chose polyester?
The switch is always on, just off when we take off the cover, and the batting itself is covered by duct tape
