Man Made Wadding Fibres

Quilters Dream Green uses a soft, cozy, green polyester fibre made from recycled plastic bottles. Not only does this eco-friendly process help to reduce landfill, it produces a wonderful wadding that is excellent for machine quilting and very good for hand quilting.

It can be washed and dried with little to no shrinkage, it's wrinkle resistant and, although no scrim or resins are used, you can stitch up to 30cm (12") apart (and don't worry about the "natural" light green colour - it's colourfast).

It’s not exactly a catchy name for a product, but at least you get an idea of what it does! It’s a quick and easy way to join two pieces of wadding (batting) together. Simply lay the wadding edges together, press the tape over the two edges and fuse with an iron.

If you are using a polyester wadding you will need to use a low heat and test a small area first.
