Problems with Batting
I recently purchased Soft n Crafty batting from Joann's. It felt soft and wonderful in the package in the store. It is quite a different story when you unroll it and find that it is thick and thin all over and does provide even batting for the quilt. Buyer beware. I will never buy this product again.

soft & crafty is much better suited to (craft) projects...home dec...isn't really marketed as a quilt batt. sorry you were unaware of what you were getting & wound up being disappointed. it will work fine for jackets, totes, pillow tops, lots of (crafty) projects.

I have used that product for Linus quilts. It is only 48" wide. The thick and thin variation doesn't bother me, but the crinkles from being on the roll are a real pain. If I remember correctly, the cost when 50% off is only $10, and there are 10 yards on the roll. It works ok for me for Linus quilts that are WOF.

Thank you so much. You are the only one on the net that had tried that batting. Joann's had some on a mark down on the online store for 99 dollars with free shipping. Looks like they are dumping their stock. My joann's has a lot in the store. None of the rolls are open so you can feel it. Thank you again for letting us know.

I purchased the roll of soft and crafty cotton. Just machine quilted a baby quilt, and I am happy with it. The notes on -line indicate it can be quilted between 2-4 inches apart. I found another place that said 8 inches. i went with 2-4 inches to be safe.
