I use W&N because I bought a roll of it. That said, I realy like the drape of Quilters Dream. Also want to try a silk batting but that would be for something really special due to $$. I did a lap quilt for my grandmother a number of years ago with 2 layers of W&N cuz Iwanted it to be warm for her. Hand qiulted that puppy as well. It came home to me after she passed away. I will say, after several washingsnit has held up well and not stiff at all. Also was not stiff when gifted.
