polyester batting

タイトルまたは説明

Quilt batting is usually put together using two different methods. First needled or needledpunched. This method uses the technique of sending thousands of barbed needles back and forth through the fibers. This process ties the fibers together into a fairly tight-woven product, almost like felt. Then, there is the bonded quilt batting which is normally thicker*-having a "loft." bonded batting is made in two different methods. Either resin bonded (glue) or thermal bonded (heat) until they stick together. The company starts out by building up the polyester fibers until the desired weight or ounces of fibers per linear yard is reached. It usually comes in *8" and *6" wide. Usually the more ounces of fiber the higher the loft or the thickness. The thinnest is usually about .*5" loft and has about 3 oz of fiber per linier yard. The thickest loft is anywhere from 1.*0" to as much as 1.*0", and has about *0 ounces of fibers per linear yard on the *8" wide and *0 oz on the *6" wide. We do not give any type guarantee on the loft of any bonded quilt batting we do stand behind the oz weight of the product. The loft on these polyester batting products can very between different factories. It can very even with the same factory from time to time. Each company that makes batting even though they use the same polyester fibers get a different look and feel to the batting. Most polyester fiber quilt batting is pure white and it is used, many times in displays and on stages and home decor to look like snow. Cotton quilt batting comes in its natural color, being a light tan, and bleached white. You have a choice of natural or bleached. Cotton batting is almost always needled. Quilters Dream Batting makes a black polyester needled quilt batting for use with dark colored fabric where the white might bleed through.
