🪡 When I first started quilting, polyester wadding was the go-to option for most quilters. But times have changed, and now we have a multitude of choices at our fingertips.

🌾 For me, using natural products has always been a priority. Cotton wadding not only helps maintain body temperature but also provides a tactile comfort that polyester couldn’t match. It was the perfect fit for my quilting journey.

🌍 However, as our awareness of environmental concerns grows, I’ve been reevaluating the materials I use. Is there a more sustainable option that doesn’t compromise on quality?

🧵 In this video, I’m excited to share a clip from one of my sewing and quilting classes where I compare traditional cotton wadding with a cotton/soya mix. It’s a fascinating exploration of how we can make eco-friendly choices without sacrificing the high standards we expect from our quilts.
