Batting (or wadding as it is called in some parts of the world) is a non-woven textile used as an interlining material. Batting is sandwiched between layers of fabric and stitched together and is usually used for insulation and dimension.

Quilted fabric is made by sandwiching batting in between two layers of fabric – this is one of the most important uses of batting. The quilted fabric is used for making quilts, potholders, insulating protecting pads and even garments. A batting also makes a very good backing for any kind of delicate thin or open weave fabric which needs support. It is also used as a padding material and to change the dimension of a fabric surface. 

Different types of Batting

The most popular battings are made of polyester, wool, and cotton fibers. Others are made of silk fibers, cotton-wool blends, cotton-polyester blends, organic blends, bamboo batting, and recycled fibers.
