2 Questions re Table Topper
My first table topper. It does not have to be heat resistant. It is 25" sq. to cover a 16" table. She wants it to lay over the sides. Question is, what is the softest batting I can use to use to get this over drop. I plan to STID only. 2nd question involves applique; the whole thing is applique. On the first square, I was trimming back fabric away from the applique and cut the applique fabric in two places, so now I'm too afraid to trim any more. Will leaving the background on make it stiffer? May be my last table topper. TIA

You could use flannel for the batting. Try cutting with your scissors at an angle to trim the appliques. Don't give up. Anytime you try something new, it seems like you have problems. With practice, it seems easy.

When I make table runners, placemats or centerpieces, I only use flannel. I do not want a wine glass to be wobbly when sitting on it. On some dresden (and all the seams) centerpieces, I do not use a batting at all. I simply back them with flannel.
