FAQs
Is this wadding suitable for outdoor use?
The moisture-resistant feature makes it more suitable than standard wadding for outdoor items like cushions, but it is not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to harsh weather may still affect it.
Can I use this wadding for children's toys?
Yes, this wadding is hypoallergenic and made from recycled materials, making it a safe choice for children's toys and baby blankets.
How thick is the 12oz wadding?
The '12oz' refers to the weight per square yard, indicating a medium-to-heavy loft suitable for projects requiring substantial padding. The exact thickness can vary slightly with compression.
Does the laminated design affect sewing?
The lamination is designed to be subtle and generally does not interfere with standard sewing. However, ensure your needle is sharp and consider using a slightly longer stitch length if you encounter resistance.
How should I store leftover wadding?
Store it rolled or loosely folded in a dry, climate-controlled area. Avoid tightly compressing it for extended periods to preserve its loft.
What is the difference between this 12oz wadding and the 9oz version?
The 12oz wadding is heavier and thicker, providing more loft and insulation than the 9oz version, which is lighter and better suited for less bulky projects.
Troubleshooting
Wadding appears lumpy or uneven after washing.
Ensure the washing machine is not overloaded and the cycle is gentle. For drying, ensure the wadding is spread out evenly and tumbled on a low/no-heat setting for sufficient duration. Avoid high heat.
Difficulty cutting clean lines.
Use sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter with a fresh blade. Ensure the wadding is laid flat on a stable surface. For very precise cuts, consider layering the wadding with a stabilizer or interfacing temporarily.
Wadding shifting during sewing.
Baste or use temporary adhesive spray to secure the wadding to the fabric layers before quilting or sewing. Pinning generously can also help prevent movement.
Reduced loft after long-term compression.
Gently stretch or fluff the wadding by hand to help regain some of its original loft. Proper storage in a loose, uncompressed state is key to maintaining loft.
