My Mom and I are still slowly working with a top my great-great grandmother made, and asking a lot of the same questions. I think if you used a low-loft cotton batting that's been needled, like Warm & White, bearding shouldn't be a problem, even if your fabrics are on the thin/slightly open-weave side.<br /><br />I also tend to think that machine quilting would make the top more stable, since ties allow the fabric to stretch in all different directions as the quilt moves around.<br /><br />Totally agree with Robin: please show us how this project is progressing. I'm so glad you're giving this piece a good home!Diane Gillelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02210339859168266767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4810466599498707869.post-19555392710477548052014-09-01T09:33:52.050-04:002014-09-01T09:33:52.050-04:00I love your antique quilt find!
