my favorite batting is dream wool
next would be hobbs heirloom 80/20
then dream poly, dream bamboo, dream orient, dream green

can you tell i love batts from the Dream company?

i use warm & natural (usually when a customer brings them with their quilt) they are ok


there are so many to choose from and try out- i try new ones when i come across them- and keep a (batting journal) so i can write down where it came from, how much it cost, the fiber content, the stitching recommendations, care instructions- then what i thought about it when i used it. i also add a 6" swatch of the batting so i can feel it- look at it-
every quilt is different and when it's time to quilt i can grab my journal and (browse) battings to find the perfect one for that quilt- and if i use one i HATE- which has happened a few times- i can look and see that- so i don't (fall for a sale) and get something i do not like-
