Product Information

Full details

The Sew Easy Quilting Batting Wadding is designed for quilters, crafters, and upholsterers who require a durable yet lightweight foundation for their textile projects. This 80/20 cotton-polyester blend provides the classic aesthetic and performance of natural cotton while benefiting from the lightness and resilience of synthetic fibers. While it offers excellent versatility for everything from wall hangings to furniture, users should account for a minor shrinkage rate of 2% to 4% during the initial laundering process.

How far apart can I quilt the layers?

You can quilt up to 4 inches apart, allowing for both dense and open quilting designs.

Yes, it conforms to British Standards BS5852 and the Furniture and Furnishings Fire and Safety Regulations 1988.

Will this shrink after the first wash?

Yes, a minimal shrinkage of 2% to 4% is expected, so please pre-wash or allow for this in your project size.

Can I tumble dry the final quilt?

Use a walking foot attachment to ensure even feeding of the layers.

Excessive wrinkles after washing

Ensure the batting is laid perfectly flat while damp; avoid folding or draping over a rack while drying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight compared to 100% cotton alternatives
  • Provides structural integrity for upholstery and home decor
  • Resistant to common fabric pests like moths
  • Safe for sensitive users due to non-allergenic properties
  • Easy to integrate into machine quilting projects

Cons

  • Expected shrinkage of 2% to 4% requires pre-planning
  • Requires specific drying method (flat in the shade)
  • Not suitable for high-heat tumble drying

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal results, always account for the 2-4% shrinkage rate by pre-washing your fabric or adjusting your pattern measurements accordingly. When joining or layering, the batting is compatible with standard sewing machine needles, though a universal point needle is recommended for most cotton blends.

Care Instructions:

  1. Machine wash at 40C using a gentle cycle.
  2. Use a medium to fast spin cycle to remove excess water.
  3. Always dry flat in the shade to prevent fibers from distorting or yellowing due to direct sunlight.
  4. Do not use high-heat dryers as this may cause excessive shrinkage or damage the synthetic fibers.
