What are The Features of Fabric Manufacturer From
Melbourne?
Whether you intend to do the quilting yourself or
send it out for long-arm quilting, you'll need to
pick a suitable batting for your quilt by the
time you've finished your first quilt top. If
you're new to patchwork, you could be surprised
when you go to buy your batting for the first
time "Wow, they're so THIN!" And there are so
many different kinds they all look the same.

What are the characteristics of quilt batting in
Australia?

• Bearding (also known as "migration"). As the
  fibers detach and begin to work their way through
  the fabric's weave, escaping the quilt and
  leaving a beard-like look on the quilt's surface.
  This is particularly noticeable when
  light-colored batting is used within a
  dark-colored quilt. To stop bearding, use
  high-quality batting from reputable brands.
• Adaptability. This refers to the bat's ability to
  return to its original form after being unfolded,
  as well as how well it avoids creasing. This is
  where wool fiber comes in handy.
• Cotton battings retain moisture and are thus cool
  in the summer and warm in the winter. Wool
  battings are lightweight and provide warmth.

100 Cotton Batting
Using cotton has many benefits. In quilting,
cotton batting does not slide around as much.
Some cotton battings are bonded, a technique used
by manufacturers to tie the fibres together so
that they do not move or beard the fibres. Cotton
breathes and is very flexible- for traditional
and heirloom quilting, it is preferred as it
softens with age. If the batting involves scrims
or other binders, consider washing before
quilting to avoid any sort of shrinkage. Low loft
batting is called cotton and is heavier than
polyester. Natural, black and bleached cotton is
available.

Wrap Up 
Quilt batting from Australia is usually sold by
the meter, off a roll. Pre-cut bed size portions
are also available. Unlike doonas and mats,
batting sizes are not normal, and exact
measurements are impossible to achieve. Since
patchwork quilts are typically larger than a
mattress or a bed, people also want some overhang
when the quilt is finished. Most importantly, you
should still leave some extra fabric for trimming
after quilting. To learn more you can visit MS
Textile Australia for more details.
