Cotton Wadding – Natural Wadding (Batting) for Quilting, Sewing & Craft Projects
Cotton wadding is a natural wadding commonly used for quilting, sewing, and a wide range of craft and home décor projects. Made from soft cotton fibres, it offers excellent breathability, comfort, and an even loft, making it a popular choice with quilters and makers across the UK.
Suitable for both hand and machine sewing, cotton wadding provides reliable insulation without unnecessary bulk. Its natural composition allows finished projects to drape well while remaining lightweight, soft, and durable. Note that 100% cotton wadding can be harder to hand quilt than other fibres, such as polyester, bamboo, or wool, as cotton creates drag on the needle. Ideal for machine quilting.
