Is it the regular or the one with the scrim? I am thinking you could get away with your choice to keep it that way if it has the scrim on the 80/ 20. I love the hobbs 80 20 and usually buy it in bulk orders on line. But, I needed an extra one for a charity quilt for the long arm quilter and no time to wait for it, so hubby bought me a couple fairfield 80 20's from walmart. I could not believe how nice it was. A tiny bit thicker, even in density and very nice all over bat. I just may well be a convert.
