disadvantages
-the type and length of the stitching thread contributes to serviceability if the stitches are long and floating, they catch readily in use and cleaning, causing loss of design
-some batting tend to mat and bunch up in wear and cleaning
-if the fabrics that are quilted are not per-shrinkage may occur
-in some of the batting, dark colored waste fibers are used. in wear and cleaning, the dye may bleed and stain the outer fabric
