Review on the packaging how close the quilting needs to be. I think some of the organic battings requires the quilting to be pretty close together. Any ties need to be placed that close together. As for the poly , the thicker poly battings are best /or easier tied , as the thickeness make them tough to hand quilt or machine quilt on a regular machine.
A cotton batting can bunch if not quilted/ties placed as directed on the package. I'm not sure if your batting has a scrim. A scrim is what holds the cotton fibers in place and is often made from a polypropolyne for strenght.
I believe your organic cotton batting does have a poly scrim and requires quilting 8 inches apart, that would mean the furthest distance from one tie to another should not exceed the 8 inches. Do double check your package.
