In reply to Kris.

Hi Kris, I’m in B.C. Canada. Quilt batting can be found in any quilt shop or Fabric Land store.
A blend of 80% cotton, 20% polyester is a good type to choose because it is not too thick. It looks like the type used in the tutorial. 100% cotton will work too.

Very helpful, thanks. I have a wooden frame (I built it myself, no canvas on it), and a large sheet of cloth-art that I want to mount on the frame. I plan to stiffen the cloth in the way you’ve described, then stretch it over the frame like a canvas.

Could I use almost any cloth as a “batting”? (What is batting, by the way? I couldn’t find many references to it on Google – Perhaps it’s known differently up here in Canada) Thanks again.

So much better than my method- I may steal this one! You have been a busy girl this Summer-I love the beach pictures! I am on the little things add up path too. In fact, I’m doing a year long program with Christine Kane, who is a fabulous coach!

Oh clever – not a staple in site, but what fusible do you use? I can’t imagine mine taking the tension and remaining stuck to the wood!
