ive used dream orient from the dream company= it is a wonderful batt- needles great- hand or machine- give great definition- is a joy to work with- washable- wonderful- i don't know about any special handling required- just follow the guidelines for recommended minimum quilting
you will not be disappointed- it is buttery soft and luxurious---on the top 3 list for me (wool is number one)
i think the dream batt company has lots of information on it's wonderful batts- silks, wools, bamboos, and even cottons & poly's they are all.... a dream to work with :thumbup:
