A sandwich is a piece of fabric – right side down , a layer of batting, and a top layer of fabric- right side up. These can be pressed together or pressed and pin-basted.
-
Fabric for sandwiches – a solid, either light or dark or one on each side.
-
Mettler or Aurifil cotton thread -- the color must contrast with your fabrics !
-
Batting – warm and natural cotton… you want reasonably thin
-
The fabric – a 1/2 yard for each sandwich :
-
keep the fold in the fabric… place the batting between, and you have a
-
sandwich !!!
-
A yard of batting could give you 8 sandwiches, about 18” x 20”.
-
Your sandwich should be about 18” x 20” – a few inches bigger or smaller will be fine.
Please use good quality cotton and batting --- this will make a big difference in your quilting !
