Description
Floriani Quilt It Soft is a 100% polyester batting for quilters and home-dec sewists who want softness, warmth and loft without weight. It is made from silicone-enhanced polyester fibers and specially bonded to help eliminate bearding in the wash. It is resilient and lightweight, cannot be harmed by moths or mildew, and machine washes safely.
It drapes well enough for a quilted jacket or vest, yet gives a stable center for highly embellished or simple wall hangings, bed quilts, pillows and bags. It has minimal stretch and can be stitched up to 6" apart. It is a good fit for trapunto, sashiko and in-the-hoop quilting. This listing is a 60" x 1 yd piece, sized for a garment, a pillow or bag panels, or a small wall hanging.

Compare and choose
- What can I make from one 60" x 1 yd piece?
- One piece is 60" x 36". That covers a vest or jacket front and back, a pillow or two, bag panels, or a wall hanging up to about 56" x 32" with a little extra batting around the edges.
- Quilt It Soft vs RNK Embroidery Batting: which for in-the-hoop work?
- RNK Embroidery Batting is a needle-punched cotton/poly blend with the stabilizer built in, so dense embroidery needs no extra stabilizer. Quilt It Soft is 100% polyester, softer and loftier, with minimal stretch; it suits in-the-hoop quilting where you want more puff and drape. RNK Embroidery Batting 60" x 1 yd
- Is it good for trapunto and sashiko?
- Yes. Floriani recommends it for trapunto, sashiko and in-the-hoop quilting. The loft gives raised areas good definition, and it can be stitched up to 6" apart.
- Quilt It Soft vs Hobbs Cloudloft: how do the polyester battings compare?
- Hobbs Cloudloft is a high-loft, resin-bonded polyester, a full 5/8" thick, quilted 4"-6" apart, and it comes in pre-cut packages. Quilt It Soft is lighter and drapier and comes as a 60" x 1 yd piece, so it is the better pick for garments and embellished pieces; Cloudloft suits tied quilts and puffy comforters.

- Can I use it for a microwave bowl cozy?
- No. Polyester batting is not microwave-safe. For bowl cozies, use 100% cotton Wrap-N-Zap with cotton thread. Pellon Wrap-N-Zap 45" x 1 yd
- How do I wash a quilt made with it?
- Machine wash it. The polyester is bonded to help eliminate bearding during laundering, and it cannot be harmed by moths or mildew.
