Needle-punched batting
What exactly is "needle-punched" batting? Why would I want it? Where
would I use it? Is it better than plain old batting? Morag in snowy Detroit |

The philosophy is to have it easier for your needle to go through the batting. They've just taken a punch stamp to it to help flatten it. It's just a matter or personal preference- use and if you like keep using, or don't. It's up to you. -georg |

Howdy!
From Hobbs Bonded Fibers: http://www.hobbsbondedfibers.com/quilters.html "Needle punched: This type of batting is carded or garnetted then layer(ed) to form a web. The web is then passed through needling equipment that mechanically entangles the web by using thousands of needles that lock the fiber together. This type of product works to give strength to a product while allowing for a soft hand and thinner profile vs. a high loft type product. Needle punched wool or polyester tend to migrate, but will not bunch or shift like plain garnetted or carded products. Needle punched products can be thermal bonded or resin bonded." Better?... matter of personal preference. Ragmop/Sandy "Morag in Detroit" wrote in message ps.com... What exactly is "needle-punched" batting? Why would I want it? Where would I use it?
