Thread and Batting

Thread

The Quilted Kittens stock two types of thread.

• King Tut by Superior Threads:

  Extremely low lint #40/3-ply extra-long staple Egyptian-grown cotton. All variegated colors have a one-inch color change interval (from the Superior threads web site).

  We use King Tut thread upon request. It is not suitable for all quilting projects. Because the thread costs more, there is an additional charge for using this thread. We will discuss this with you during the initial consultation.

• Glide:

  "Glide" is produced by Fil-Tec. It is a polyester fiber developed with technology that makes it stronger, maintain a constant tension and is lint-free during the quilting process. We have found Glide to integrate well with the piecing. It enhances the quilt when wanted or is subtle so as not to overwhelm the piecing. It is now our favorite thread to use.

Batting

The Quilted Kittens stocks batting made by the Warm Company. However, many customers prefer providing their own. We do not accept "fat batt" but will discuss alternatives.

• Warm and Natural/Warm and White:

  Warm and Natural is produced by the Warm Company. It is 100% cotton fibers which are punched with hundreds of needles into a strong, thin base material to prevent tearing, shifting or migration (from the Warm Company web site).

If you would like The Quilted Kittens to provide the batting, there is a charge per yard. Please see the Price List for more information.
