Batting from walmart question?
So today I went to a Super Walmart were they sale fabric and other sewing items, and I was looking at there batting it was called "Natures Touch" White Cotton with Scim $6.97 a yard. They they had a fluffier batting from the same company more like poly cotton and it was $3.97. I just wondered if anyone has bought this batting to quilt with whether by machine or hand quilting?

I have used a Pellon product called Natures Touch which was cotton with scrim. I loved it! It had a nice soft drape to it like Quilters Dream. I bought it at Joann's prepackaged and also on the roll. I machine quilted all the quilts that I used it for. I have been looking for their batting called Eco-Touch which is a blend of polyester(20%)and cotton (80%)- I believe. I have not found it yet,maybe I I'll go to Walmart and check it out.

I just ordered a 96" wide x 9 yard bolt from Walmart of the Pellon 80/20 blend batting for $34. 3 queen battings for a little over $11 each it is worth a try. It is shipping free to the store for pickup. I also want to try the Pellon wool batting which is ~$56 for a 9 yard bolt and will ship to my house for free.

Sounds like well worth trying out! Any batting I've personally bought has been from Walmart and has been fine. The rest of my batting was inherited and I have no idea where it was purchased.
I do know that if I'm using the fluffy poly batting I prefer the highest loft as it seems to be more evenly distributed in the layers, whether bagged or on a roll.

I have used the "Nature's Touch" batting. The only negative I encountered with it is that it is extremely linty. I had to be very careful not to get little pills of batting on everything around it.
