Batting Samples request

Sep 25, 2007 5 Replies

Does anyone have some small samples of wool and silk batting that they would be willing to send me? I'd like to have a few different samples for my students to see when I start teaching in January, and I don't have anything other than cotton and polyester. I'd love them to see wool and, possibly but not necessary, silk battings!



I'd greatly appreciate it!

You can buy them if you can't get freebies:

It's also worth contacting the manufacturers directly to ask and let them know that you are a teacher and would like a small sample to show your students as you teach them about different batts for quilting.

Quilter Dream may send you samples......as a long arm quilter I get them when I get my order. Let me know if you want me to send you one of mine.

Thanks Laurie! I'll check with some of the companies and manufacturers and see if I can't get some samples!

If you don't get a free silk sample, I will did through my stash and find the silk batt I have and see if there's a spot that would be OK to cut off to send you. I got mine from the Kreinik Sidewalk Sale several years ago -- it's not all nice and even along the edges so I likely would have an area that I could cut off to even it up. Anyway -- let me know if you can't get a freebie from the mfg. CiaoMeow >^;;^<
