What caused Titanic to sink?

faq.
Titanic was designed with a series of transverse bulkheads, separating her into 16 "water-tight" compartments. Unfortunately, these bulkheads, while extending above the water-line, were not capped with water-tight decks. Her designers considered a breach between two compartments a worse case scenario, and in fact designed her to float with any four compartments flooded.

Why did they think Titanic was unsinkable?

faq.
You have to realize the time period in which Titanic was built. The gilded age was an era when new and wondrous things were happening every day. The Titanic's shear size gave an impression of invulnerability. Most people don't realize it, but the White Star line never actually claimed Titanic was unsinkable. This line was made popular by the press of the time, and maybe a few over-zealous shipyard workmen.

How large are your batts?

Morro Fleece Works Frequently Asked Questions
I have a 42" card and the roller is 48" around so your batt will be 42" x 48" and as thick as 10" or as thin as 2". Every wool rolls up differently so how "fluffy" your batt is will depend on your carded wool. My felting machine makes a 3' by 4' sheet of felt. This can be very thin, like a fabric for cut and sewing use. Or it can be as thick as one inch for a felted rug or saddle pad. How long it is left on the machine determines how hard or stiff it will be.
