Thank you Weezy Rider. This put my mind at ease. I am using Dream Green polyester batting which I love. I tugged on it today to see how sturdy it is, and it didn't budge. It is a new poly batting made from ground up green soda pop bottles. I love it. No quilts I have made have been washed yet though, as I am a new quilter. (Yes, I quilt my own.)
In my dear granny's day, she didn't have batting. She used old blankets. I suppose most ladies used old blankets back in the 50's. (This doesn't have any thing to do with the subject, but thought I would toss it out there.
