All About Batting for Making a Tuxedo Pillow

Video Transcript

Hi I'm Terri Turco with Expert Village. We are making a tuxedo pillow today and we are getting to the part we are going to turn it inside out and add the batting. That is really the good part. But before I do that I want to talk to you a bit about batting cause it can be a little bit confusing. There is so many different battings available. There is a fiber filled batting that comes in sheets and it is usually comes by the yard that you can buy it. You get this at fabric stores and then there is the batting that you literally take out of a bag. Now for our purposes today we are going to be using the batting out of the bag. The reason being is that we have lined this pillow. So we really don't need the batting cause that is almost another texture that is added and it makes it much too lumpy. If you didn't line it you could really roll this and actually make that the actual pillow. But we did line it and that is what they do in most pillows. In better pillows today they use a type of batting. Some of them are down filled but down filled tends to be very very expensive. It is also much better to work with cause you have feathers flying all over. So today what we are going to do is we are going to be taking this batting and turn this inside out and putting it inside our pillow. So when we come back we are going to do that actual step we are going to stuff that batting in this pillow and show you how it looks. So come on back cause we are going to be doing some stuffing and it is not for Thanksgiving.
