Sewjoyce- I was getting my Fairfield from Wmart up unitl about 18 months--no longer carry it. Found the Hobbs at Hancock's on sale and bought a couple extra. I prewashed it as per instructions. Don't miss the FF at all-Hobb is much stronger with a slight more loft. MQ'd beautifully :D FYI our local Wmart no longer carries Warm and Natural.

I have used all kinds of different battings. Right now, I am using one of the bamboo kind. I know, it was spendy, but I did have that 40% off coupon at Joanne's! It feels soooo nice, and has been super easy to work with. I am anxious to get the quilting finished, get it bound, and wash it to see how it looks. I may splurge again if I like the results :!: :!:

how does the poly batting wash up? I usually use warm and natural, but I got one on the machine now with poly batting, for a lap quilt. I find it so much easier to move around while quilting. I had a new roll laying around needing to be used up.
