FAQs
Is this wadding suitable for outdoor projects?
Yes, the moisture-resistant design makes it suitable for items like outdoor cushions, though it is not waterproof. Ensure adequate protection or bring items indoors during prolonged wet weather.
Can I use this wadding for wearable garments?
Yes, its lightweight and breathable qualities make it suitable for lining jackets, vests, or gloves, providing warmth without excessive bulk.
How do I best store unused wadding?
Store rolled or folded in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid compressing it tightly for long periods to maintain its loft.
What is the percentage of recycled content?
The wadding is made from 70% recycled polyester fibres.
Is the 8oz weight suitable for very thick quilts?
The 8oz weight provides a good medium loft. For exceptionally thick or warm quilts, you might consider layering pieces or opting for a higher ounce-per-square-yard wadding if available.
Can this wadding be ironed?
Avoid direct high heat. If ironing is necessary for smoothing, use the lowest heat setting (e.g., 'synthetics') and place a pressing cloth between the iron and the wadding.
What is the difference between this 8oz wadding and other weights?
Higher ounce weights (e.g., 10oz, 12oz) indicate a denser and thicker wadding, providing more loft and warmth. The 8oz is a versatile medium weight suitable for a broad range of applications.
Troubleshooting
Wadding appears lumpy or uneven after washing
Ensure you used a gentle wash cycle and avoided overcrowding the machine. After washing, gently reshape the wadding while damp. Ensure it is thoroughly dried completely, ideally by laying flat and turning periodically.
Wadding shifts or clumps during sewing
For quilting or upholstery projects, consider using basting spray, safety pins, or hand-basting to secure the wadding to the fabric layers before machine stitching. Ensure your machine's stitch length is appropriate for the material.
Wadding is difficult to cut cleanly
Use sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter with a sharp blade. Ensure the wadding is laid flat on a stable cutting surface. For very fine cuts, consider using a craft knife on a cutting mat.
Finished item feels too stiff or too soft
This specific wadding (8oz) offers a medium loft. For firmer projects, consider layering multiple pieces or using a denser wadding from the same manufacturer. For softer projects, you might choose a lighter weight wadding or use this one more sparingly.
