Welcome to the Quilting Board!
where do you ladies all purchase your batting? It can get expensive and I am thinking there has got to be a better place then where I am getting it now
If I want Hobbs, I wait for a sale at Connecting Threads. They'll occasionally have a 30% off sale on batting, and I stock up then. I haven't settled on a source yet for Quilter's Dream.
If I want a product from the Warm company, I just wait until JoAnn's online has it half off & free shipping. Usually this happens at least once a year.
I know there's also an online source, batt-mart that just carries batting that is supposed to be good.

I've saved the link but haven't purchased yet.

I look for sales online , in shops, and at shows. Some of the best bargains I got were at shows.
May your stitches always be straight, your seams always lie flat, and your grain never be biased against you.

I buy the Warm & Plush batting on a roll from Joann.com when I have a 50-60% off coupon (all packaged batting is on sale this week at JAF).
I use to get a half roll of Hobbs at JAF but they discontinued carrying Hobbs again. Using some of my old Hobbs in packages.
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
Connecting Threads often has great batting sales and free shipping at $50.
hiding away in my stash where i'm warm, safe and happy
I use Joann's 50% off sale for some of my personal batting. For charity batting (90% of my quilting is for the Bible camp quilt auction or for Project Linus) I buy Hobbs 80/20 from them directly using their charity batting program (no 501c3 documentation needed). I also occasionally find wonderful deals on packaged batting at garage and estate sales. Most recently I found Thermore and Hobbs wool.
thanks for the tips. I will check into these
I order by the roll from Heartbeat Quilting and LEQ. My most recent roll is Hobbs Tuscany 80% Cotton/20% wool and honestly, I doubt I'll ever use another batting again. Practically no pilling, very little shrinkage and hand is unlike any other I've tried. I'm extremely pleased with it.
Blessings,
