Joann Fabric Batting
JoAnn is advertising a web sale on batting. It is a brand called Soft N Crafty Toasty. It is advertised as 100% natural clean cotton. I usually use Warm and Natural 80/20. Just wondering if anyone has any experience utilizing this brand. It is on sale for $99.99 (regular 274.99). It seems like a great deal!

I've never heard of it, will have to stay tuned...

I know little about batting but it does sound like a really good deal. Maybe talk to one of your local long arm quilters to see what they know about it.
|
Will be interested to hear what people have to say. Saw it in a ad and looked at it in the store. Seems like a good answer if you wanted a little higher loft and warmth.
|
The only review I found for it was on the manufacturer's website (Fairfield). I wonder if it's a new product?

I am always suspicious if the price sounds too good to be true unless I have experience with the product. Tried the Pellon cotton batting - because it was less expensive than Warm and Natural and was disappointed. Maybe you can try it with a small project and buy a small piece. Waiting to hear more.

I'll have to run over there today and see if the local store has any after I check to see if there are any tutorials on it.

90" wide X 25 yards for $99, use coupon PAAH103 for free shipping. Sounds like a deal, the reviewer seems to say she saw a very little difference. Might be worth it if , you have an extra hundred laying around and bir or many projects in the works!!

I bought a bolt and loved it! It has a little higher loft than the 80/20 or Warm & Natural cotton, and quilts up beautifully. The only thing was the bolt was only 44" wide, so it perfect for table runners and smaller projects. I tried to get a wider bolt at the last quilt show I was at and had to pass. Cost prohibitive!

I have used it and just received another roll from JoAnn's. It quilts nicely on the long arm and on my other machine. Love it for placemats, runners, etc. I don't think you will be disappointed at all and the price is fantastic! The one I ordered is 90" wide by 25 yards long for $99.99 plus free shipping. Regular price is $249.99

Wow what a deal and thank you all for the reviews on this! I just ordered the 90' wide by 25 yards for 79.99 and even got free shipping - woo hoo! Hope it is as awesome as it seems!

It has been around for quite some time. I have used the poly and never had any problems.
