I can use any batting. I offer Hobbs polydown because I like how it looks. But it also doesn't collect any lint while I quilt or beard. SO I just like it. Some prefer cotton so they will send me cotton batting with thier quilt.
HI Franie,
Isn't that HObbs great! I can hear when my bobbin collects lint balls...and I have to clean them out or the stitching goes wonky...with that poly batting no problems at all. It is very nice. I can put on my ipod and quilt away without worry. :thumbup:
