I'm a wholecloth quilter and I don't like to quilt polyester battings although most of them are easy to quilt - but I don't like how the quilt falls when it's finished. I love to use the Hobbs 80/20 batting very much and never had any problems with doing fine stiches. Tuscany 100% cotton was also very good and smooth to quilt. Wool batting has a wonderful loft (also after washing) and the needle goes trough it like a hot knife trough butter! I like the antique look of old quilts, therefore cotton is my first choice at the moment. Next I will try soy blend and bamboo blend.
