    What kind of batting do you use in a wallhanging? Do you use the same as in a regular quilt?

    I have used regular flannel for wallhangings and table runners. I have also heard of diaper flannel, but never tried it. My Mom uses really thin batting for her wallhangings but I am not sure what it is.

    I use warm and natural, and it is wonderful for wall hangings. I will use flannel only on a quilt that doesn't need any body.

    I made the mistake of using flannel once for a Rag quilt the ladies at the LQS recommended I do it. Boy did my blanket come out thin Cant redo the quilt it was quilt as you go would have to throw the whole quilt out

    Thin poly works really well in wall hangings since it doesn't have the fold memory that cotton has.

    Hmm.. looks like I may change to thin poly for wall hangings and table runners as the "fold memory" concerns me a bit.. I guess I will press the wallhanging before I hang it..
