Intermediate sewing filter: Questions about batting.
Hi! I just bought this <3 pattern, and want to make it pretty much the way it is in the photo. The trouble is, I'm not a quilter and know nothing about battings. (And I'm also lousy at eyeballing, I spend way too much time with muslins.)
I contacted Jalie herself, and she said "don't use anything under one inch," which is fine, but I'm not sure what to use so it'll look like the photo. There seem to be a million options to choose from; I'd like it to be nice and warm too. Tell me what you know about batting!
Bonus question: again since I'm not a quilter, please share with me any tips you have about working with batting, especially working with batting and EXTREMELY SLIPPERY nylon outerwear fabric. I have a couple of tips that I use (using lots of pins, etc.), but perhaps YOUR tips are brilliant and will make my life much better. And any recommendations for sites on how to work well with outerwear, as well as batting, are welcome as well. Thanks all! |
