I'm happy with any poly-batting that has even thickness throughout. Hobbs is great. Mountain Mist is good too. I'm a hand quilter and I find polyester batting works easiest for that. I've heard silk is great too for handquilting, but I don't want to spend that kind of money. I do not like any kind of cotton batting, even blends for hand quilting. I just can't get my stitches as tiny.
