This MHG Textiles Polyester Wadding, at 27" wide, is designed for crafters seeking a sustainable, hypoallergenic, and durable filling material for a wide range of projects. Its key benefit is its eco-friendly construction from 100% recycled polyester, offering softness and breathability without compromising on quality. A potential caveat is that while machine washable, it requires careful drying on low or no-heat settings to maintain its integrity. This wadding is lightweight, easy to handle, and resistant to moisture and pests due to its laminated design.

Yes, this wadding is hypoallergenic and made from recycled polyester, making it a safe and comfortable choice for baby blankets and soft toys.
While primarily designed for filling and padding, it can be used for certain types of quilting, particularly where a softer, loftier result is desired. However, for traditional quilting, specialized quilting waddings might offer better stitch definition.
Store it in a clean, dry location, ideally in its original packaging or a breathable bag, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
GSM stands for grams per square meter, indicating the density or weight of the wadding. Higher GSM generally means a thicker, warmer, and more substantial fill.
The lamination is designed to be discreet and does not significantly alter the soft, breathable feel of the wadding. Its primary purpose is functional, enhancing durability and resistance.
It is best to avoid direct ironing on the wadding itself. If pressing a finished item containing the wadding, use a very low heat setting and protect the wadding with a pressing cloth.
Ensure the wadding was dried on a low or no-heat setting for an adequate duration. High heat can cause clumping. If it persists, try gently fluffing by hand.
Use a very sharp pair of fabric scissors or a rotary cutter. Ensure the wadding is laid flat on a stable surface during cutting.
Temporarily secure the wadding to the fabric using basting stitches, spray adhesive (suitable for fabric), or safety pins to prevent movement while stitching.
Setup: This wadding requires no specific setup beyond cutting to the desired size for your project. Ensure you have a clean cutting surface and sharp scissors or a rotary cutter for precise shapes.
Compatibility: The MHG Textiles Polyester Wadding is compatible with most standard sewing machines and hand-sewing techniques. It can be used with a wide variety of fabrics, from delicate silks to sturdy cottons and denims.
