Is There A Right Side To Quilt Batting? - Suzy Quilts

Last week, on the Suzy Quilts Patterns Facebook Group (yes, I hope you read that like the episode recap narrator of your favorite TV show), someone asked if there was a right and wrong side to quilt batting.

Let me just say that I’m thankful for my quilting community for a lot of reasons: the creative inspiration, original ideas, and incredible muffin recipes… but I’m also thankful for you all because you ask amazing questions about things I wouldn't even thing about!

I actually thought I knew the answer to this, but when I started reading the responses from you in the comment thread, I realized that there is a lot on this subject that I need to research. Confession: before researching this post, I actually thought that Quilters Dream Wool had scrim!! OMG, RIGHT?? So silly of me. 😉 (FYI it doesn't – don't be confused.)

Batting seems pretty straightforward. I mean, we covered How to Choose the Right Quilt Batting here and The Truth About Black Batting here so what else could there possibly be to talk about?

We need to talk about the sides of batting, and how to make sure we stay on its good side.
