2Looking for Affordable Quilt Batting from
Australia
Quilts from Melbourne have their fans who find it
useful to them and their opponents too. Everybody
is different of course and has different
interests. Some people feel much warmer when
they have something wrapped around their entire
body. They feel more comfortable in sleeping bags
and think it's worth the extra weight of a full
bag. Quilts which have 100 cotton
batting appreciate people who want to save weight
especially on long trails, where every gramme is
counted and your knees, ankles and back will
thank you for every step of the long road. They
sleep in quilts much more comfortably and use
their advantages. What Is 100 Cotton Batting
What Is The Use of It? Quilt Batting in
Australia is your "quilt sandwich" centre.
Sometimes called quilt padding or quilt wadding.
Batting is the insulating layer providing warmth,
dimensions or thickness.

4Types of Quilt Batting Found in Australia
Fibre content can be cotton, polyester, wool,
silk, alpaca, and now, bamboo. Cotton,
cotton/polyester blends and pure polyester are
the battings you see most often. You also have
fusible, non-fusible and needle punched. 100
Cotton Batting There are many advantages to
using cotton. Cotton batting doesnt slip around
as much during quilting. Some cotton battings are
bonded, a process that manufacturers use to keep
the fibres together so the fibres do not shift or
beard. Cotton breathes, is very versatile, and
it is preferred for traditional and heirloom
quilting and softens with age. Many cotton
battings shrink. Consider washing before quilting
if the batting contains scrim or other binders.
Cotton is considered low loft batting and is
heavier than polyester. Cotton is available in
natural, black and bleached.

5Wool This is a very warm batting. It provides
warmth without weight. It absorbs moisture and is
great for use in cool and damp climates. Many
hand quilters who do batting in Australia like to
use wool batting. It can be used year-round
however, some people are allergic to wool. It is
more expensive than cotton or polyester, but it
is now manufactured to be washable. Wool is
available in black and natural. Silk Quilts in
Melbourne The most expensive batting but
wonderful to work with. It is a good alternative
to wool and down. Most silk battings have some
polyester in them to stabilise the silk and
reduce the shrinking. Silk breathes well and is
washable. Silk is available in natural and
black. Wrapping Up If you are looking for quilt
