The K99/R00 augments, but does not replace, other NIH programs that provide mentored research and career development experiences for postdoctoral and early-career investigators. Most NIH Institutes/Centers support this program as well as other research training and career development programs.
What is batting and what does it do for me? Quilt Batting is the middle of your âquilt sandwichâ. It is also known as quilt padding or quilt wadding. Batting is the insulating layer that provides warmth, along with dimension or thickness. In my âquilt batting tutorialâ I hope you learn a little more about batting and the types of batting available, along with a little bit of history about quilts.
When sandwiching a small quilt simply tape the backing fabric wrong side up to the table using masking tape. Don't stretch the backing as you are taping, it needs to be firm and smooth as when it is ironed but not stretched. Then lay the batting on the backing and sort of pat the batting in place. You don't want to stretch the batting. If you need move the batting lift and replace. If the batting is stretched when it is laid on the quilt it will spring back when the backing tape is released causing the quilt to pucker.
