Granny Quilter

I have been having so much trouble with the new format that I have not been reading anything, so of course no answers eitherI have made several table runners and toppers, and I always use cotton batting, whichever I have left from other projects.

BINGO! The Winner! That makes my decision...the ironing factor! Unless you are a crafter, a lot of people don't even have an iron anymore!

most of mine have warm and natural inside.I have some made from home dec fabric and I did not put any in them since the 2 layers of fabric was thicker.

I have used Hobbs 80/20 and liked the result

I use fusible in my tablerunners and placemats. I like the stiffness of it and it is easier than pinning the smaller pieces. I do not like it in quilts tho.

A friend just helped me get my settings right so I could find things. I have made several placemats and found that I like a very thin batting in them. I did two with no batting and they just didn't look right. I like Grand Flannel that is 60" wide and I get it at Hancock Fabric.

I use a very thin poly batting so when I quilt them they lay flat, any weight on them would settle evenly. I haven't figured out how to attach a pic yet so I could show you.

I use flannel.

I am a HUGE fan of Thermore for table runners; so much so that I always have a queen size in the cupboard. I make lots of runners and placemats for our big Craft Fair in December. It is very thin and drapes well if you wish to make a tablecloth. I order from Connecting Threads when they have a batting sale. For regular quilts though, I use Hobbs fusible.

I'm making table toppers this year, a pattern site from the board here, and am using up my batting scraps of warm and natural. I simple stitch the edges so it fits my shape and it's working fine. Clearing out my scraps and using them for a great project. You're right some use nothing, I just like a little body to the poject. Good luck.
