Loading tension may need slight adjustment for the increased thickness. Test on a sample before loading a finished quilt top.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDoes 16oz polyester maintain loft after washing?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003ePolyester loft is resilient. Wash gently and dry on low heat to preserve maximum loft over the quilt’s life.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhat stitch density works best with 16oz?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eDense stitching (1–3\" spacing) creates maximum contrast between stitched channels and raised unquilted areas.
