Bobbiesue 13 Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 I am quilt for a gal that is wanting to use 2 layers of warm & natural, need to know pros/cons. Do I need to adjust to a longer stitch length so that it does not create a tightness and cause it to pucker? All opinions welcome TIA, Diane on a Millie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neher-in-law5 254 Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 I can't tell you how to adjust for two layers of WnN, but even one layer is too heavy for me so I expect that two will be really heavy. Is the customer wanting the very flat, crinkled look, or is definition of quilting the desire. Would a layer of wool fit for the job? I really like wool and others have mentioned a layer of cotton with a layer of wool on top for wallhangings and definition of quilting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lkl 79 Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Diane I have used double batts of 80/20(cotton/poly) or 100% cotton with a wool overlay but also have used 80/20 or bamboo cotton with a overlay of poly. Warm and Natural batting is not my favourite because it is so dense and heavy. I've had several customers bring W&N batting that was so full of seeds/ debris it was breaking the thread. If the goal is to produce a warm lofty quilt, then I recommend a batt of 80/20 or bamboo with a layer of Hobbs polydown or Legacy Pellon poly overlay. Leslie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeke 287 Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 I like warm and natural. Always have. Been using them since the beginning. Haven't done a double w&n in a long time, but she said it was too warn to sleep under. Ended up sending it to her sister in Alaska. Zeke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NHDeb 79 Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 What about a single layer of Warm & Plush? That might be easier and still get the thickness she is after. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
