dream wool does not shrink as much as warm & natural- a great batt!

read the packages and find the batt that will (go with) your quilt-

the quilting you do is dictated by your batting- some batts have to be quilted every 2"- some allow you up to 10" between quilting lines-
some batts are good for tied quilts- some are not
some batts are great for hand quilting-some are better suited to machine quilting=
some shrink alot- some don't shrink at all
some are very flat- some are quite (lofty)
some are cotton- some are polyester- some are both=
some are wool- some are silk- some are bamboo- some are made out or recycled bottles---it is a wide world!

try them all-
read the packages and try out the one you think will work for the quilt you are making- try it out= then next time try something different-
there are tons of FABULOUS battings on the market== no point in deciding one is the only one to use.
