A Guide to Batting

A selection of battings we love. Picked for their smooshiness factor, these battings will create perfect snuggle quilts. Visit ConnectingThreads.com to see our full selection.

COTTON BATTING

Cotton is a soft, breathable, and natural fiber. It’s machine washable and dryable, has moderate drape, and ages well. It softens and shrinks slightly with washing, giving it a crinkled “lived in” look.

GOOD FOR A flat, traditional look

WOOL BATTING

Wool is lightweight, warm, and moisture-wicking. Contrary to popular belief, it’s machine washable and dryable as long as you use gentle, cool cycles.

GOOD FOR Garments & all-season bed quilts

POLY-DOWN

Polyester is lightweight and very durable. It’s machine washable and dryable. Poly-down’s medium loft makes it a great choice to show off quilting stitch definition.

GOOD FOR Showing off your stitching

BLACK BATTING

Black batting is used to give your dark quilts a richer, deeper color. Use under dark fabrics to eliminate white fibers poking through your quilt top.

GOOD FOR Quilts with dark fabric

FUSIBLE BATTING

Fusible battings eliminate the need for pinning or spray-basting, saving you precious time!

GOOD FOR Convenience

KNOW YOUR BATTINGS BOOKLET

Never get the wrong batting again with this resourceful, pocket-sized guide you can take along with you to the store! Small but mighty, this booklet will help you choose appropriate batting, use it correctly, and avoid common mistakes so you end up with a perfect quilt every time.

USEFUL TOOLS

Staff favorites to simplify your sewing!

PORTABLE DESIGN WALL

See before you sew! We have the solution for anyone that doesn’t have a dedicated design wall in their studio or sewing room. Made with high quality, 100% preshrunk cotton flannel that holds blocks of fabric without pinning. This is a portable, collapsible, free standing design wall with stabilizer bars.

72" square. 81893 $ 149.99

TRANSLUCENT VELLUM PAPER

Use with any photocopier, inkjet or laser printer or trace patterns without a lightbox—the design shows through the paper. Makes fabric placement, stitching, and paper piecing a breeze. 30, 81/2" x 11" sheets. 17# weight.

20712 $18.95

Translucent Vellum Paper is my go-to for foundation paper piecing. It prints well in my ink jet printer and it’s so much easier to tear away once the blocks are finished. It’s translucent so you can see your lines easily to line up your fabric to the pattern. — Karen P.

SPRAY MISTING BOTTLE

Sometimes you need a little spritz and sometimes you want a powerful mist. With the Continuous Spray Bottle just hold down the trigger and the product is released in a fine mist for as long as you hold the trigger. It’s a great solution for spraying a large amount of product over a large area. Holds 10oz.

21886 $10.69

I use the Spray Misting Bottle for my fabric and my plants! It’s the perfect gentle mist. — Kristin

BLOC LOC HALF SQUARE TRIANGLE RULER SET

Save when you buy the set!

Get perfect half square triangles every time with these durable acrylic rulers. With 1/2" markings and a centered “channel,” cutting half square triangles has never been simpler! 21/2", 41/2", 61/2" square. 82269 $56.20

I like the Bloc Loc HST rulers when trimming down my half square triangles (HST). When sewing the HSTs they can get a little wonky, but using the Bloc Loc to trim them up is easy and accurate, resulting in a perfect square. — Darlene

ADD-A-QUARTER PLUS RULER – 12"

The Add-A-Quarter Plus ruler features a specially designed lip and tapered edge which will help you trim excess fabric and provide a straight line for placement of the next fabric piece. It accurately adds a quarter inch to your piecing templates. 2" x 12". 82279 $ 12.99

I can wholeheartedly say I would never foundation paper piece without the Add-A-Quarter Plus ruler. So easy! — Karen J.
