You probably should try expanding your purchase point to something other than JoAnn as they are really only a fair price point if you have a coupon or they are having a 50% off sale on it and their selection is limited. I have seen the same W&N (warm and natural cotton) priced regular for almost half of what JAF charges at quiltshops because JAF adjusts the price for coupons.
Here is a good link to a blogger that did a great comparison chart for batting

You can also use the advanced search function here on the QB and search topic titles only for batting you will find loads of topics about this very subject.
Feline fan, I love them too! Cats and quilts seem to go together
Thanks, and you are the second person to suggest I go somewhere else besides Joann's. The other lady told me their fabric is scratchy. I did notice that some of it is, and as for their coupons -- they say 50% off regular price, but I get there, and every thing is discounted already 30%, so my coupon doesn't qualify. They are very tricky that way.
Thanks for your information!
