Felt as batting
Hi QB - I have a large piece of white felt that was given to me. Can i use it for batting? I'm making a kids play mat -- one side is a single cotton/poly panel and the other is fleece. I made a small sandwich to test and it fairly firm, which is ok but wondering if it will wash ok.
Has anyone used felt before? I think its a poly blend -- the craft kind from Joanns.

if it is acrylic (craft felt) it will not launder ok in a quilt. craft felt is not meant to get wet. you might want to cut a square of it- put together a 'sandwich', zigzag the edges and toss it in the wash (launder it the way you intend to launder your play mat) see how it comes out.
