What about silk battings?
Pros and cons?
When should they be used?
Do they provide warmth? loft?
Can you spray baste it, for quilting on a DSM?

Likewise is wool, one that can be spray basted for a DSM?

I have used a lot of Warm N Natural. It was the one the LQS' in this area favoured and I just followed blindly!! I'm now branching out to try others .... and trying to keep track!

My current favourites are Tender Touch 80/20 and Warm N Safe ... both seem to have more substance than W+N and thus give a nice loft for the quilting to show. They drape nicely and feel oh so cuddly in the finished quilt.

I have a binder labelled as "The Batting Book" ... where I keep samples, info about different battings and any other relevant info. I try to remember to note which quilts have which battings.
