What is scrim?
What is scrim and is it good or bad? I found a 30 yard roll of Pellon cotton batting with scrim for $113 at Walmart. I have use their batting before, but never noticed the scrim.

Warm and Natural has a scrim Here's a good explanation from their site (under "general")

And a few more opinions at http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...g-t187747.html. I just noticed from the Warm & Natural link that they don't recommend using 100% cotton batting in the microwave. What should I use when I make my next baked potato bag?

Check out Warm and Plush for microwave projects..my quilt store called the Warm Company and they said it was ok for microwaves. It doesn't have scrim and the label says 100% cotton NO scrim. Their other products all seem to have a percentage of polypropylene. But it is quite a bit heavier.
