Batting
Do you buy your batting by the roll (30 yards) or by the yard? I've started using the Hobbs fusible and I think I can get it for $5.16 a yard if I buy the whole thing. Seems like a good deal. I paid $16 for a queen size piece from Connecting Threads when they had a sale. Where do you buy yours? What do you like the best?

I buy it by the roll. I like having it on hand and not having to wait for the right sale, and cutting the amount I need at the time I need it. When I bought pre- cut/packaged batting it seemed like I never had the size for the current project.
I like Warm an Natural because sometimes I want to preshrink the batting and Warm and Natural preshrinks better than most other brands.

I have purchased several Warm Co. rolls of batting from JoAnn's when on sale (Warm and Natural, Warm and White, Soft and Bright). I've also purchased several "special" batts (silk, wool) in a package. I don't use fusible battings so can't tell whether that's a good price.

I just do charity tops but the last time I bought a roll of Hobbs batting at JAF but I noticed recently that they dropped the line again !! It was seat because the batting was folded twice and contains 15 yards. HATE to pay for the shipping of a roll !!

I bought batting in a roll for the first time a few months ago. I am very pleased. At first I was concerned about storage, but I just pushed my clothes over and put it in my closet. I figure I am always going to quilt, or so it seems, so I may as well just "go for it." I bought mine from JoAnn's with a coupon. Before then I would buy ten yards at a time. I rarely have bought the packages. I use Warm and White, because I just seem to like a lot of white in my quilts.
