One of the things she did was to make a practice sandwich with 4 different kinds ofbatting. She had a circle drawn for us to practice on. The best to quilt on was the poly.,but the wool was almost as good. I like natural fibers so wool is what I've been using & the more I use it the more I like it. It's cool in summer & warm in winter! My stitches are getting smaller & smaller!
Any brand in particular that you have found to be nice to work with?
Hobbs Heirloom wool is nice but the wool by the bolt is a little more consistent & more expensive, however when it is quilted they both look the same. I try to buy whats on sale. I don't have many choices here in Midland.
