Has anyone here made a tq or uq out of Primaloft ? and does it work?
I know it will be alittle heavier than down but will it keep me warm ?
I am looking to make my wife and myself a set of summer quilts out of it and we are on a budget.

I like it. It's more uniform in thickness than Climashield Green, so it's easier to make a summer quilt without thin spots. Note: I haven't use Climashield Apex or Sport, and I expect they may be better than the Climashield Green I got 4 years ago. But I do like Primaloft.
The Climashield that I bought last year had no thin spots in it except where I was playing with it and stretched it to see what it would do. I was using some scraps for experimenting with it.
The nicest thing about Climashield is that it doesn't need to be quilted every 3 to 6". I laid out the two layers of fabric over the climashield, cut it roughly to fit, sewed except for a turning opening. Then cut the climashield to exact size, turned, closed the opening and top stitched for looks and extra security.
Easy, peasy.
hk2001 has, you should message him.

He is the one that suggested it to me, i just wanted to know what kind of results others have had..
I am gonna order some and give it a try
I love the feel of primaloft, but haven't made any quilts using it. I used climashield in all my synthetic quilts because of the lack of quilting requirements. However, I used primaloft for hats and mittens and it is buttery soft. Practically as soft as down.
