I'm not sure that you have to stick to every 4". I densely quilt with wool and it holds beautifully. I think what this means is that it needs stitching at least every four inches, if the stitching is looser, the batting may shift when it is washed.

This was very confusing for me as a beginning quilter. OK Quilt Pros, do I have this right?

Another thing I was happily surprised at how quickly my quilt air dried.

I don't remember if the packaging on my wool batt indicated how thick it was, but it appearred to be 1/2". I was surpised how light and easily compactible it was. Mine was a twin size quilt and I had no trouble gathering evening more than half of it into the palm of my hand. It has lots of bounce but it is so easily compactible.

Just reread your post about your son wanting a high loft warm quilt. I think my package stated that stitching should have no greater open spaces than 4". Because the batt is so easily compacted make sure you choose a quilt design that is not very dense.

Isabellet. OFFLINE Posts: 15	I need to know if you can use 1/2" loft 100% wool batting with the 820 Bernina Machine. I know hand quilters use it. Also if it is too thick has anyone ever been able to split the batting to 1/4" My son wants a high loft warm quilt. :
