There is always much discussion about the type of batting to use and whether cotton is better than polyester or wool, or even silk.

One interesting suggestion I just came across is from Caryl Bryer Fallert. For machine-quilted wall hangings, she uses a wool blanket for the middle layer.

Caryl suggests using the wool blankets available at the Army & Navy surplus stores since they are very dense.

She also likes wool since it allows her to use a steam iron as she blocks the quilt.

Happy Quilting!
