Quilt batting at Sri Song Swad shop in Chinatown, Bangkok
Posted by Jill C. on July 28, 2009
Sri Song Swad shop is a shop on Sampeng Lane which sells everything for babies and that includes quilt batting. The owner speaks English and he said that a wholesale roll of batting will fit in a taxi, so it is possible! He said it’s small enough but when you open it, it explodes and expands. Haven’t tried it yet. The only type of batting available in Thailand is polyester, so that’s what our quilt group uses for charity quilts.

- #78 Sri Song shop – batting, flannel, plastic sheeting, mosquito nets, baby clothes and baby bedding. They sell white polyester batting in either thick or thin, brand name ‘Double Swallow’. You can buy a small pack or a large wholesale roll. I like the thin batting. It’s easier to machine quilt. The thin batting is 45 inches wide and the price is 45 baht per meter. The thick batting is 60 inches wide and the price is 125 baht per meter. The small packs have 2 meters of batting and are pretty easy to carry, or you can leave it at the shop and pick it up last. Sampeng is a walking lane, so you have to plan your shopping a bit!
