How does felt applique work with cotton quilting? Cindy


Wool felt applique? With cotton batting and backing? It works fine. Wool felt is by its nature preshrunk. Cotton batting, depending on the batting and your pre-treatment doesn't need to shrink much either. It's cheaper than wool batting usually, but wool batting is available.

Quilting doesn't care what material is used. Quilting is a process of sewing layers together. I've quilted entirely with linen (except I did use wool batting/stuffing).
