I used W&N almost exclusively and have never had a problem with lint. I got a great buy on cotton blend batting and I regret buying it every time I use it. It works fine within the quilt (no bearding at all) but it is the lintiest batting I've ever seen! I am using it as much as I can but the yardage doesn't seem to be shrinking at all. So lesson learned...a bargain is not always a bargain!! Next time I try a new product, I won't buy 10 yards of it!
