BATTING
High quality batting is provided at a very competitive price, so there is no need to mail it with your quilt top. We are a Pellon dealer and we sell high quality batting at a better price than our local chain fabric stores. We have learned that not all batting is created equal, so to keep our maintenance costs down, and your machine quilting costs down, we ask that you do not bring your own batting. We have not increased our machine quilting prices since 2008. SO...All batting must be purchased at our studio for machine quilting. ALL PRICES ARE LISTED PER YARD.

Which batting should you choose?
If you like the look of a crinkly washed quilt, use cotton batting. Cotton batting shrinks slightly more than the fabric does, so it gives you the vintage "crinkly" quilt look. Nothing finishes a vintage quilt like hand quilting...but if you can't hand quilt those antique quilts, the next best thing is a tiny stipple with cotton batting!
If you want a thin, lightweight quilt and do not want it to "crinkle" when you wash it, 80/20 is the perfect choice. The 20% poly will keep it from shrinking like cotton.
If you like some loft, choose a poly. Just remember, thick batting may limit the quilting patterns you have to choose from. Poly is very warm and the best choice if your quilt have minky or flannel on the back.
If you want to fall in love with the best batting in the world, give wool a try! It is super lightweight and breathes like cotton. It is warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It gives a soft drapey finish to any quilt and is my absolute go-to. Machine wash and dry.
There are literally thousands of quilting patterns to choose from! Open, widely spaced patterns work best with puffy batting. Otherwise, the sky is the limit!
