Fabric
Some fabrics are not recommended for use with the quilting machine. Thick fabrics, such as denim
or leather, have a lot of resistance that can bend or snap a needle, and misalign or break internal
machinery. When quilting, avoid any fabrics that are dicult to pierce, and take care that the fabric
layers of the quilt are well balanced .
Batting
To choose the best batting for your project, consider the look and feel of the quilt that you’re going
for. Batting thickness is measured by its loft. A low loft batting is thinner and lighter, ideal for a quilt
with a atter appearance. High loft batting should be used if a uy, full quilt is the goal.
Typically, wool batting is the thickest batting while bamboo is the lightest. Wool provides the most
warmth, followed by polyester, and then cotton.
