Has anyone ever used this place? They have Hobbs 80/20 batting in king size for $17; the cheapest I've seen before that was on Amazon for $26.

Never heard of them before but it looks like their online shop caters mostly to long armers.
So I wouldn't have had a reason to stumble across them.
Seems like a great price for the batting.
The only thing I'd say is their very minimum shipping charge is very high (for a

I have used Kingsmen for several years and have never been disappointed in their service or prices. I longarm so I buy Hobbs 80/20 by the roll and get lots of other longarm supplies at very good prices.

So may I ask you this - do you happen to have a link to a quilt you did with the Hobbs 80/20?
As I wrote upthread, I like the W&N, and I know I DON'T like the look of the Hobbs Poly.
I was wondering what it looked like - mostly concerned about the poof factor.
Thanks for you help.
And sorry for hijacking the thread. :mrgreen:

If you look at the yellow quilt (3rd pic), that's the kind of quilting I love on my quilts - not heirloom but dense with swirls and spirals and NO feathers. ;-)
How would that look with the 80/20?
Thanks for your help.

I know it's not the Poly - I just wanted to make clear how much I really don't like that look at all. Personally. So I wouldn't want anything similar to it.
Sounds like it's not going to be much different -poof wise- from W&N then, right?
Thicker is ok, I don't mind that.
I think I'm going to order some packages to try out. That price is incredible.
Thanks!

Been using Kingsman for years--thread, pantos and other long arm gizmos. They provide fast and excellent service. Not touching the batting issue. YES I am a feather lady when it is appropriate for the quilt.
