Greetings and Dresser Scarf Query
 

Hello from an "oldie" returning once again to the fold! DD#1 needs a
dresser scarf and end table scarf to protect her new bedroom furniture
from scrapes and scratches. I found the perfect tone-on-tone floral
fabric for the top, a matching solid for the bottom, and a stunning
green for the binding that ties in nicely with the window treatments
that I made for her. My query? What kind of batting should I use,
because I don't want the end result to be "poofy." I plan to quilt
just enough to give additional movement to the fabric. Any and all
suggestions are appreciated.

Regards to all and TIA!

Single layer of flannel [prewashed several times to get the shrinkage
out] would probably work.

I'd suggest one of the batting that is used for quilted garments. Very thin
and light. I think it is called Thermore. Or you could just split the
layers of a regular batting.

I would second the Hobbs Thermore recommendation. It is fairly thin and
does not "poof".

Many thanks for the suggestions! I've placed an order for the Hobbs
Thermore batting at Hancock's of Paducah.

"-dlm. in Central MA" asked a question about quilting a dresser scarf and said "Hi!"


Ohhh...thanks for the welcome back, Butterfly! I'm still doing a bit
of quilting as well as some home-dec sewing. Hopefully, being around
other quilters at this virtual quilting frame will inspire me to
finish up my UFOs before I start too many more projects ( S ).

Take care!
