If you are new to hand quilting a poly batt might be easier to needle, but there's always the risk of "bearding," where the fibers come through the top. My first poly batt did that, which is why I started using the Blue Ribbon cotton. The Blue Ribbon is a bit harder to needle but not as hard as Warm and Natural, at least in my experience. I use quilting betweens - they're shorter and a bit sturdier than other needles. |
Quilting a quilt now with Hobbs 80/20 useing JJ 9 needles but I spray basted the quilt and when I hit the places with the spray the needle dose not want to go through. I will never spray bast for hand quilting again.
