Quilt Top: Your pieced and appliquéd show quilt top.
Batting: Quilters Dream Wool batting.
Backing: A high-quality quilt backing fabric that complements your quilt top.
Why this combination?
Wool: The wool batting provides warmth, loft, and beautiful drape, enhancing the visual impact of your quilting. It's also breathable, so the quilt won't feel too hot.
No Scrim: The lack of scrim allows the wool to breathe and drape more naturally.
8-inch Quilting Distance: This allows for more freedom in your quilting design without compromising the stability of the quilt.
Important Considerations for Show Quilts:
Thread Choice: Use high-quality thread that complements your quilt top and won't detract from the overall design.
Quilting Design: Plan your quilting design carefully to enhance the piecing and appliqué. Consider custom quilting to add another level of artistry.
Binding: Finish the quilt with a beautiful and well-executed binding that frames the quilt nicely.
Extra Tip: Before layering your quilt, lightly press the wool batting with a cool iron to remove any wrinkles or creases from packaging. This will ensure a smooth and even finished quilt.

*Thermal Bonding is a process that interlocks the fibers through the use of heat energy. For Dream Wool and Dream Puff, we use a special fine denier low melt polyester for the thermal bonding. Thermal bonding is an environmentally (absent of chemical resin binders) favorable technology.
The heat in the thermal bonding process softens the surface of the fiber. At the melting point, fibers in contact with each other will form strong bonds, which secure the wool fibers, preventing shrinking, bunching, and shifting. When this is cooled the bonding points solidify and ensure the strength and performance of the batting. Should not be ironed or used in a hot dryer.
