Question

How high can the loft be for a comforter?

Community Answer

It can be as high as you want it to be, but the thicker the loft, the more difficult it is to quilt.

Question

What sort of batting should I use for a king size comforter -- polyester or wool -- and where can I find it?

Community Answer

Batting can be found online at quilting stores or at department or craft stores. The type of batting you use depends on how far apart you want to quilt; the label of the batting will tell you the distance. Polyester batting comes in three lofts but has to be quilted closer than cotton or wool. The thicker the loft, the more difficult it can be to quilt.

Question

Why do you use bias tape?

Community Answer

Bias tape has some give to it, so it will help keep things from bunching up or looking weird in the finished product. It also helps stabilize the edges of the comforter.
