I don't have room to store a whole roll of batting but would buy one if I did. I am using Hobbs 80/20 for the first time with my current project and am really happy with it so far. This quilt has both machine and hand quilting and it seems easy to hand quilt. I chose this because I wanted a little bit of loft. The quilt on my bed is all cotton, is heavy and is sometimes dampy feeling.
