I have been using Hobbs 80/20 just because it's made & grown in Texas but with my latest quilt I am having a hard time with the quilt up to 3 1/2" apart, for this reason I need to look for something that wont beard with quilting farther apart. Would the Hobbs Polydown work better or is the distance the same as the 80/20?
