ABOUT MY MATERIALS

Information about Quilters Dream 80/20 batting for quilting, highlighting its blend of 80% Dream Cotton and 20% Dream Poly fibers, with features like high-quality long staple cotton, microfibers that mimic natural fibers, ease of use with machine quilting, and no pre-washing needed.

I use Quilters Dream 80/20 batting on all quilts unless another brand or type is requested. Quilters Dream has an incredible soft feel and gives the quilt a luxurious drape. The 80/20 has a nice weight to it. If you prefer 100% Cotton, please be sure to mention this when ordering.

Backing fabric (the part of the quilt that hugs you when you wear it) that I prefer to use is soft flannel. It provides warmth and softness without adding a lot of weight. For a lighter quilt, cotton would be preferred. Other fabrics that I can work with (at additional costs) are minky, fleece, and sateen (a silk-like fabric with more body than real silk).

The thread I prefer to use is 100% Polyester. It is durable and withstands quilting without breaking.

Some quilts require the use of a longarm to quilt. This is due to weight (I quilt king-sized quilts on a longarm) and/or backing fabric. Heavier backing fabric, such as fleece, can be difficult to quilt on a table-top machine. Longarm machines remove the risk of the back “puckering”.
