The two LAs here (they bought a machine and practice on customers quilts) use the cheapest stuff they can find. It's horrible. Stiff and scratchy. I let them baste my quilts for me but insist on them using the batting I provide. One said I was too picky about something that didn't even show in the quilt. I said I know I'm very picky that's why I only want you to baste my quilt. She just huffed and did a much better job on the basting. No puckers. LOL.
