maggienoella Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 What is a good, light, polyester batting for t-shirt quilts? Thank you, Joan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Mountain Mist is cheap and readily available (JoAnns). I've used it a lot and it's even, sturdy, and while it looks so very thin, it gives great stitch definition. **Commercial over** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loraquilts Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I've also heard that you can use flannel as a light weight batting in quilts, although I've never tried it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qltnbe Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I am listening. I need to talk my customer into a batting for her giant t-shirt quilt. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cegates Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 One of my customers uses Mountain Mist all the time. Basting down the edges of the top can be a challenge since it is so puffy and stretchy. It really helps if you use a ruler for basting, it controls the puff so the edge of the top gets basted down nice and neat. Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMALKB Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 I've used the Mountain Mist Quilt Light with t-shirt quilts or quilts with fleece or flannel on the back. Just enough fill to quilt nice, but not too heavy and bulky. That's the only Mountain Mist product I use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
