It is not made w/resins, it is needle punched. It feels like Warm & Natural, doesn't shrink, and quilts like a dream. I buy 10 yards at a time from JoAnn's with a 50% off coupon. If you are going to use polyester, this is the one. I quilt for several of my SILs and my niece.
Soft and brite is the only poly I will use-feels like a cotton batt.My longarm will work on any batting but-poly is too thick and puffy-quilting is not even-has lumpy areas and not a good look afterwards-in my opinion
