I am a new quilter here and been trying a few of different batting, I noticed (so did my hubby) that for bed quilts, we like Dream Cotton the best, the medium loft I think. For wall-hanging, placemats and such ,I really like Warm and Natural because it has the scrim and tends to be a little "stiffer." I haven't tried polyester or bamboo, and I am about to try the fusible batting. We'll see.
