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! - dlm. |

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

Or you could just split the layers of a regular batting. Maureen |

Maureen I would second the Hobbs Thermore recommendation. It is fairly thin and does not "poof". Rita -- Rita L. in MA One Eyed Mutant Ninja Quilter :-) |

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! - dlm.
