 ‘Batting: What’s Inside Matters’

 

Presented by Stephanie Hackney

Director of Sales & Marketing, Craft & Retail

Hobbs Bonded Fibers

 

This lecture offers quilters and other creatives a chance to learn all about fibers and batting.

 

This lecture covers:

- the questions we ask quilters to assist them in narrowing down the many batting choices to what’s ‘best’ for achieving the results they desire;

- the various fiber types, and pros and (potential) cons of each type;

- what we recommend for specific use cases (modern quilts, charity quilts, art quilts, wall hangings, runners, throws, etc.);

- proper use and care of battings and quilts;

- tips and tricks for best results

- bearding: how to prevent it, and how to fix it if it happens 

- and, a bit of fun!

 

The lecture is 1.5 hours in length, we will hold all questions until the end, and will have a Q&A session at the end.

Towpath Guild meets at 10:00AM on the second Tuesday of the month at the United Methodist Church in Fayetteville, located next to the Post Office on Genesee St. In the event of bad weather, we follow the Fayetteville-Manlius school closings.
