A while ago we were talking about batting. I just found a package of the one I like the best: Soft Touch by Fairfield. "100% bleached cotton, no need to pre-soak, soft and easy to needle, creates an antique look, hand or machine quilting." It does not say how closely you need to place the quilting. If anyone would like a little piece just PM me with your address. I'm happy to send you a small piece (whatever I can fit into a regular sized envelope).

Also, I mentioned silk batting. I forgot to say that it's recommended that you wear some kind of gloves when working with it. I wore the thinner disposable rubber gloves - look like the medical kind. I forgot to put them on one day when working with it and it really did hang up on each little rough patch on my hands, hangnails, etc.
