laptophoops.com always has their batting on sale for 40% off, so I wouldn't bother using one for batting. Harry's customer service is absolutely wonderful.
I 'tested' JoAnn's & Connecting Threads shipping, and ordered cut clearance fabric from CT & an Ott Lite (on sale) and ruler from JoAnns. I received my fabric from CT yesterday, but only got a notice this a.m. that JoAnn's JUST shipped. I always find Connecting Threads to be better for some reason. Just an FYI! :)
