From: 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 From: Deb Milner 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". CiaoMeow ^;;^ . PAX, Tia Mary ^;;^ Queen of Kitties Angels can't show their wings on earth but nothing was ever said about their WHISKERS!! Nothing is complete without a few cat hairs! 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. grammar, shmammar with cat in front of keyboard Julie Richmond, VA remove the stitches to reply |
