January 9, 2025 Sherry Mark - Loft Supply

Lecture All About Batting

  Batting Lecture Sherry Mark and hubbySherry Mark - Loft Supply

Owner Sherry Mark strongly believes that batting is an important, yet often overlooked and undervalued, component of your quilting project. After all, your batting gives your quilt its personality. It determines the way a quilt looks and feels, its weight, warmth and thickness, and perhaps most importantly, its longevity. At Loft Supply, we value the art of quilting, and want to do our part to ensure that your finished product looks and feels as special as the effort you put into your beautiful creation.
