The Basics of Batting
Polyester is the choice of battings, since crafters can design a quick, machine washable, and non-shrinking quilt. As well, the crafter can design a thinner quilt verses the thicker, since polyester is a batting made of "high loft." My favorite is silk, yet if you are creating a traditional style quilt, the silk may not be suitable. You can still make a quilt of silk, yet you will pay top-dollar and spend a length of undesired time to finish your project. In fact, most crafters do not recommend silk for creating quilts. Wool has migrating fibers, yet you can sew through the material with ease. You will need to space closely when needling. The wool over time will loose its fibers however. Wool will also fuzz. You can use lightweight materials, or cloths to prevent fuzziness, as well as to prevent fiber loss. Wool is not suitable for machine wash; rather you should take your quilt to a professional cleaner, or wash it by hand and allow it to air dry. Now choose your style: If you want the antique or traditional quilt, you will need to use the "low loft" material. The quilts include the Fairfield, which is 100% bleached cotton, the poly-filled cottons, which is 80 % cotton; the "Mountain Mist/Blue Ribbon Stearns" are 100% cotton as well. You can also choose the 100% polyester, Morning Glory, or the Glory BEE I, which is also 100% polyester. Many other styles and varieties are available. Once you decide which fibers, or fabrics you want to craft your quilt you can then consider your backing. You can purchase yards of backing. The backing today makes it easy to fill in the length and width of your quilt.Pages: 1 [2] 3

How Does the LAP-BAND® Procedure Work?How Does the LAP-BAND® Procedure Work?Author: Erich ShreflerThe LAP-BAND® procedure, or laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding surgery, is the second most common weight loss surgery performed in the U.S., second only to gastric bypass surgery. Compared to gastric bypass, LAP-BAND® surgery is considered less extreme and minimally invasive because: Surgical incisions are small. There is no rerouting of the digestive system and no change in the way calories are absorbed by the body. |
