Yes, this wadding is hypoallergenic and made from soft, breathable recycled polyester fibers, making it an excellent and safe choice for baby blankets, clothing, and soft toys.
To prevent shifting, it is recommended to baste the layers together thoroughly. You can use safety pins, hand basting stitches, or a temporary fabric spray adhesive before quilting.
While the wadding is moisture resistant, it is not inherently waterproof. For outdoor use, it's best to encase it in a water-resistant fabric and ensure it has adequate drainage and drying opportunities.
The 12oz wadding is denser and provides more loft and warmth, suitable for thicker quilts, upholstery, or items needing substantial padding. Lighter weights (like 4oz) are better for delicate projects or where less bulk is desired.
A 2M roll is 2 meters in length. The width of this specific product is 27 inches, and it has a weight of 12oz per square yard.
Polyester wadding is generally resistant to yellowing compared to natural fibers, especially when stored correctly away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Yes, this wadding is ideal for stuffing soft toys. It's pliable, hypoallergenic, and washable, making it a great choice for creating cuddly companions.
Ensure the wadding was dried at low or no heat for an extended period as per care instructions. Avoid high heat in tumble dryers or direct sunlight when drying.
Ensure the wadding is evenly distributed and secured to your fabric layers before stitching. Basting or using a spray adhesive can help maintain stability.
This wadding is 12oz, providing a medium-high loft. For projects requiring a different density, consider other weights offered by MHG Textiles. For softer projects, you might use less wadding or layer lighter weights.
