Pellon Wrap-N-Zap Quilting Batting, off-White 45" x 36" Precut Package

This batting works as expected. I am using it for bowl cozies and will also be making a couple of the potato cookers, too! (Be sure to use 100% cotton thread and use 100% cotton fabric if your items will be used in the microwave!) I like that it stretches a little, so if you are cutting it and you are off by a little, you can fudge it. I do notice that it is 'linty', so make sure to vacuum your bobbin area after sewing this. If you want to reduce lint collecting in the bobbin area, sew with the batting on the top. If you are sensitive to airborne lint, I would highly recommend wearing a mask.

I purchased this as a recommendation for batting in a project I was working on. I made quilted "bowl cozies" as gifts for family at Christmas. The batting thickness is very much like a natural cotton batting. Cush and perfect for what I was doing. I see no sense in microwaving a cozy, but I can see someone putting their bowl of chili or whatever in the cozy and then putting it in the microwave to heat the chili. DO NOT DO THIS. Mostly, it defeats the purpose. You want the cozy to insulate the heat and to keep your hands from getting too warm carrying a bowl of hot food. You don't want the cozy "hot out of the microwave". To me, the wrap and zap will help keep this "mistake" safer than if you used a regular, normal, conventional batting. I will use wrap and zap for any project that I feel a need. For crafts such as the tortilla pockets made of fabric (to keep them warm after they've been heated). The width was great in the the total size I was able to get about a dozen cozies out of a single package. Well worth it!
