I totally agree with you about the importance of batting, however, how are you supposed to try different types and know which ones to avoid if you don't try them. It is a Fairfield poly, and is currently loaded with the quilt on my frame. While I do not like the texture or the feel of this batting, it is holding up well. It did not separate, tear, or anything else while I was loading the 3 layers. I decided to let it rest overnight to see if anything else happens to it, and nothing did. So now I guess I have no more excuses and must start quilting it today. Will I ever use poly again...too soon to tell, but other than the feel of it, it seems to of held up so far.
