Choosing Wadding: There are so many commercially available waddings on the market so I’ve put together some suggestions of what to look for and what to avoid. I tend to prefer cotton or 80/20 cotton/polyester waddings. I love the feel of some of the polyester waddings but I’ve also ruined a quilt using it – the steam iron was too hot and the wadding melted into a papery mess!
