I have used Bamboo batting in both small quilts and for handbags and totes, and I love it. I get the Fusi-Boo Brand that Hancock Fabrics sells, and just a light pressing with a wool setting on your iron fuses it just enough so that nothing shifts when you are quilting. Haven't had any problems at all with it, but it is more expensive than other brands. According to the directions, you are not supposed to prewash it.
