Batting and size needle for handquilting?
#13
A batting I highly recommend for hand quilting is Quilter's Dream cotton. I don't remember what they call the thinest one but it quilts like butter. It doesn't have any scrim and is really soft. When I hand quilted I really liked the John James or the Roxanne size 11 needles.

I just remembered another consideration - how closely do you want to hand quilt?
Mountain Mist requires a quilting line every 2 inches. Other battings can be quilted at wider intervals. If it's a project that you don't want to quilt heavily, make sure your batting allows that.

I would like to quilt heavily...but I do a lot of hand applique and if I go around the hand applique there may be areas that are wider than 2 inches. So the Mountain Mist may not be good for a hand applique quilt do you think? I know when I cross hatch it would probably be fine.
