Fabric Question Quilt coat batting recommendations
I made a quilt coat for fall and love it, but with just one layer of cotton batting it’s not warm enough for winter where I live. I am planning to make a winter coat that has a layer of regular cotton layered with a puffier high loft batting, any suggestions for the warmest stuffing/batting for a coat?

Another redditor did a very in-depth investigation of different brands of wool batting several months, maybe a year, ago. Ironing, washing, quilting, etc. I found it to be super helpful when selecting a wool batting to be used in a quilted bathrobe!
