Good answer Jacquie!!! I am a Long Arm quilter, a lot of us prefer wool batting for show quilts. The wool is heaven to quilt through (just like butter). Wool hangs nicely and doesn't hold creases when folded for shipping show to show. When buying batting, pay attention to the different lofts because it all looks the same. No matter what loft, if it's quilted to death (heavy) it will appear thin.
