Can you please tell me the link where you can buy Quilters Dream by the roll online? Thank you for your help!

I have used a variety of poly batting a. Usually low loft. But if for a cold climate or for the floor... High loft.

I use high loft poly batting for most of my baby quilts. Makes them soft & fluffy. I do use W & N in some but don't like that they are so flat - not fluffy.

For babies, I use poly. I like the fluffy look for baby quilts.

That's what I use for everything. It's 100% cotton. It's a nod weight for everything. I make microwave bowls and tater bags that have to be all cotton. That way I don't worry about putting the wrong batting in.

Warm and natural or Warm Blend.

There is a non-cotton scrim in W&N. Also, it is NOT the batting to use for microwave items. Not trying to be "lectury" but I don't want you to get in trouble.

I do too but I have found, when pennies are tight that Warm n Natural "Soft n Brite" is a lovely poly substitute and wears and launders well.
