Quilt Batting

Quilt Batting is the padding placed between the quilt top and bottom. A good quality Batting is vital for the overall look and feel of the quilt. Today, this padding product comes in variety of materials and thicknesses.

A Batting’s thickness is referred to as the loft. High loft is suitable for thick comforters. Mid-loft is suitable for most quilts. Low-loft is ideal for baby quilts and for quilts with an old-fashioned look. Lofts range from about 1-1/2” to 1/8”.

Quilt Batting was traditionally made of wool or cotton. Many fine quality cotton Battings are available today.
