I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for in thread, fabric and batting quality. The best batting is Quilter's Dream Cotton. They have a variety of batting and have excellent customer service. They are located in Chesapeake, VA. I have used Hobbs 80/20 since this batting was first introduced to the quilting market and have been very pleased with it's qualities. I would suggest that you find a good quality of poly batting from Quilter's Dream if you don't want to have any crinkling. But don't press your seams open.
