Warm and Natural or Warm and White is a great quilt batting without loose
fibers- it is more like a thick felt. Felt may work for this, but I am
not sure

Given that I have several projects with heavy beading waiting in the
wings, I may just invest in a piece or two of this.

Warm & Natural, etc. (a mostly cotton batting) can be a bit pricey AND a
P.I.T.A. to buy off the roll if all you are going to do is use it for is to
cushion beads. I buy it at Joann's (off the roll at 10 yards a whack) with the
50% off coupon and the cost will be near $5.00 a yard. Take a look at it in
the store and if you think you want to use it, then go look at the pre-packaged
craft sized pieces. It won't be any cheaper but it's pre-cut into something
like a 1 1/2 yard square piece. *Much* easier to handle :-).
The felt sounds like a great idea -- much easier to deal with and a lot
cheaper. Personally, I would probably still use either paper toweling ot
tissue right next to the beads and then the "puffy stuff", just on the off
chance that the beads might somehow get smooshed into the "puffy stuff".

As you say it can be expensive. Prepackaged with a coupon would be
cheaper. If someone can't afford it or split it with someone else, then
they can email me and I can look through my scraps to see if I have a
size that may work for them.
