    when I hand quilt I use Quilter's dream "Request"

    https://www.missouriquiltco.com/shop...YCEaAguB8P8HAQ

    It quilts easily, drapes lovely , and washes beautifully.

    W&N is too thick for me to HQ, but I use it for machine quilting just fine.

    I've never quilted with wool or silk.....was mostly afraid of results after washing......

    the Quilters Dream wool is washable, but because it's made w/ a thermal process, it is not recommended to be dried. I do suppose you could dry it on a low heat....I'll be hanging my throw to dry.

    That was my impression when handling it at a show several years ago. Still drooling over that batting!

    Thank you, I'm also looking for some hand quilting batting. I ordered the Quilters Dream Request.

    I belonged to a hand quilting bee for many years and several of us used Hobbs 80 2o batting.

    W&N, W&W, poly, 80/20....all work fine. But, the best for me is wool....it's like going through butter

    I love Mountain Mist Quilt Lite. The needle goes through like a dream. I can make the best stitches on it, whereas if I use anything with cotton in it, it is so hard for the needle to go through with even stitches. I get it when JoAnn's have their half-price sale or senior citizens sale the first Wednesday of the month.
