Wadding fabric

Wadding fabric

Wadding fabric, often called batting, is the layer that sits between fabrics to add warmth, softness, insulation and structure. Whether you're making quilts, patchwork projects, bags, oven gloves, home furnishings or garments, the right wadding can make a noticeable difference to the finished result.

Our range includes cotton, polyester, fusible and heat-resistant waddings in a variety of weights and thicknesses. From lightweight options that add gentle padding to thicker waddings that provide loft, warmth and stability, you'll find suitable choices for quilting, crafting, dressmaking and home sewing projects.

What is wadding fabric used for?

Wadding is used to add padding, warmth and structure to sewing projects. It is commonly used in quilts, patchwork, bags, oven gloves, table runners, home décor projects and some garments where extra insulation or body is needed.

What is the difference between cotton and polyester wadding?

Cotton wadding is made from natural fibres and gives quilts a flatter, traditional appearance with excellent breathability. Polyester wadding is lighter, loftier and often provides more warmth for its weight, making it popular for quilts, crafts and padded accessories.

Which wadding should I choose for my project?

The best wadding depends on the finished result you want. Lightweight waddings work well for garments and projects requiring flexibility, while thicker waddings add more cushioning and warmth. For oven gloves, ironing board covers and heat-related projects, choose a heat-resistant insulating wadding designed for higher temperatures.
