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.
Typically quilting is done with three layers: the top fabric or quilt top, batting or insulating material and backing material, but many different styles are adopted. The process of quilting uses a needle and thread to join two or more layers of material to make a quilt. The quilter's hand or sewing machine passes the needle and thread through all layers and then brings the needle back up. The process is repeated across the entire area where quilting is wanted.
