There are pros and cons to each type of batting. Warm and Natural is very good for tied quilts because it is needlepunched through scrim, which makes it very stable. I haven't used it in years because I prefer a more traditional cotton quilt look. My favorite batting is Mountain Mist Blue Ribbon, which is 100% cotton that is not needlepunched and does not have a scrim. However, MM is not suitable for tied quilts and needs to be quilted 2" apart. Warm and Natural, in contrast, can be tied or quilted up to 8 or 10" apart.
