FAQs

What makes this wadding eco-friendly?

It is made from 100% recycled polyester fibers, diverting waste from landfills and reducing the need for virgin materials.

Is this wadding suitable for people with allergies?

Yes, it is hypoallergenic and non-irritating, making it a good choice for those with allergies or sensitive skin.

Can I use this wadding for upholstery?

Yes, it is versatile and can be used for light upholstery projects like cushions and padding for chairs.

How do I dry the wadding after washing?

It should be dried at low or no heat in a dryer for several hours. Ensure it is completely dry.

What is the weight of this wadding?

This specific product is 10oz per square yard (approximately 300-340gsm), offering a medium weight and good loft.

Will the wadding shrink significantly after washing?

The wadding is designed to be durable and retain its shape after washing. Minor shrinkage is possible but typically not significant.

What projects are not recommended for this wadding?

This wadding is best for projects requiring moderate loft and softness. It may not be ideal for extremely firm or dense padding needs.

Troubleshooting

Wadding feels lumpy after washing.

Ensure the wadding is completely dry before use. Avoid high heat during drying, as this can sometimes cause fibers to clump. Gentle agitation during washing and proper drying can help maintain an even loft.

Wadding is difficult to cut cleanly.

Use sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter with a fresh blade for precise cuts. Cutting on a flat surface can also help.

Wadding shifts during sewing.

For quilting or larger projects, consider basting the wadding to the fabric layers using pins or temporary spray adhesive before sewing to prevent movement.
