    Poly Thermolam in a bed quilt?

    I've used Pellon Thermolam in a few table runners, and I'm now working on my first bed sized quilt. Since I liked Thermolam before, I just bought a bolt of it, intending to put it in this quilt. Is this a bad choice?

    That is not a product that I'm familiar with, but if you like the way it behaves in your table runners, it might work for a quilt, however, it's not intended for quilting.

    A google search came up with this info about the Pellon product: "Description: Pellon Fleece is great for all kinds of crafts and home decor. Thermolam Plus Polyester 45"x 20yd White- Heavily needled 100% polyester sew in fleece. Good for home decorations, craft projects and interlining coats"

    What you have may be thinner that the "Plus" version, and might work.

      I have used this batting for wall hangings because it stays very flat and stiff so it hangs very well. I don't
      think it would drape well enough for a bed quilt...no soft cuddle...but as a spread? if it's what you like?.... :roll:

        It IS the plus that I bought. I guess I was already unsure, or I wouldn't have asked. I'll save the Pellon for something else; it'll force me to make lots of wall hangings! I've ordered some Quilters Dream cotton batting.

          I think that will be a much better choice!
