If you purchased this and used it... what do you think of it? It's on sale today and I'm wondering if I should pick up a roll or two of it.... They don't have it in the store for me to look at so I can't tell if it's decent batting. I don't like fluffy batting if that makes sense. Man I wish I could see and touch this in person!

I really like it. I use a juki on a Gracie frame to quilt and have used it for several quilts. Especially kids quilts - quilts so easy and I like the feel better than 100% cotton - 20/80 still my favorite but would recommend this for kids quilts and charity quilts - but haven't been able to find where to buy it by the roll again

I use Pellon battings and like them just fine. once in a quilt can't tell the difference from an expensive batting. I order mine by the bolt from Walmart online. They have so much more on line than in the stores. I mostly use 80/20 batting but have used others. I also buy my interfacings and stabilizers by the bolt. The prices are so much better than by-the-yard or small package prices, even beats JoAnns sale prices. If I don't have a large enough order to get free shipping(rarely happens) they ship it to my nearest store for free pick up.

I have bought that batting from Joann's twice (both times for $29.99) last year. I like it, but found that the second roll was thicker than the first. I would buy it again if Joann's ever has it again.
