    I make a lot of baby quilts, which is the best batting for them since they get washed a lot? I never see them once they are given away so don't know what they look like after washing.

    I like to use Hobbs Polydown. It is really easy to work with and is mostly polyestor so it gives the little bit of loft which you don't get with the cotton. Unless a customer wants cotton batting, I use the Hobbs Polydown.

    I dont think anyone was "spreading a terrible rumor", my goodness she imparted some information that she received in a class. Nothing "terrible" about that. No one said not to use it if it works for you. Everyone has preferences.

    Thanks for saving me what I'm sure would be serious hassles... the poly I bought for my niece's floor mat is going back to JoAnn's.
