Have you ever used it? I always quilt more than 2 inches apart so it would be interesting to know how it is to for hand quilting.
I have hand quilted Mountain Mist Blue Ribbon batting 2 inches apart. It held up very well; however, I don't recommend hand quilting this batt because it is hard to needle (my fingers got very sore). That's why I prefer machine quilting this particular batting.
