Ok so your saying If I do not pre shrink my cottons and use poly batting, it would just make my quilt poofyier- (i know its wrong but somehow it looks right ) ??
could it start to tear and pull at cottons?
I have only ever used warm and natural batting but I have seen poly batting is much cheaper.
also, since your sooo smart, . . .
if i have a regular lqs quilt top and put the 100% cotton flanel from joanns for backing, would it be lopsided? or would back shrink alot more? could it end badly?
