Quilted jacket question
I am making a quilted bargello jacket. I am using Thermore batting in
the body of the jacket. I'm trying to decide whether or not to put Thermore in the sleeves. It's optional; the class sample did not have it. I plan to wear it like a sweater or suit jacket in fall & winter. The class sample was lined in quilting cotton, but I prefer a more slippery lining, so I think I am going to use a polyester lining. What do you think - should I add the Thermore to the sleeves? Julia in MN -- This message has been scanned for viruses by Norton Anti-Virus http://webpages.charter.net/jaccola/ |

Quilted jacket question
Will it still wear comfortably with the added bulk?
Do your arms usually get cold as much or more than your trunk? T. |

Quilted jacket question
Because if I have cold arms I'm cold all over, I would put it in.
I also echo your feeling about polyester lining at least for the sleeves. I have tried cotton and it is a nuisance to take on and off. ..

Quilted jacket question
I realize there's a heap of difference in the cold in MN and in MS but if
you are going to get serious with the warmth in the sleeves, you might enjoy making the sleeves just a bit bigger around. Being warm is nice. Being able to move in the jacket will be nice too.

Besides I have a nice piece of poly lining left over from DD's bridesmaids' dresses; it's the right amount and the right color. I don't know what else I'd ever use it for.

Being warm is nice. Being able to move in the jacket will be nice too. Polly I'm using Thermore batting, which is pretty thin. I think the pattern has plenty of room in the sleeves, but I will double check that. I suspect that the original intent for the pattern is to put batting in the sleeves, because it calls for the same amount of batting as lining fabric Julia in MN -- This message has been scanned for viruses by Norton Anti-Virus http://webpages.charter.net/jaccola/ |

Quilted jacket question
I'd put it in. IMO it does show if the sleeves aren't the same weight as the
rest of the jacket. And I'm with you on the slippery lining. In fact, I'd use it on the body too. Made a vest with cotton inside once and the dratted thing clings. Tends to make any untucked T-shirt underneath it ride up. Roberta in D "Julia in MN" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... I am making a quilted bargello jacket.
