Thanks everyone for your comments, suggestions, and stories of what works and what doesn't. I did not realize that the rolls are usually folded. How did I not know that? Anyway, I can see that it would be a huge mistake to put a roll of batting on the bottom bar. Did not even think about the fact that you cannot check underneath to see if all is well with your quilting and that there may be too much tension on the batt when unrolling while on the frame. Cannot thank you all enough. So glad I asked this question before buying. I really like Quilter's Dream Cotton so guess I'll just stick with buying individual packages as I need them for now. Forgot to mention that storage is a problem for me as far as the rolls are concerned. I can put packages on a shelf.
If any of you who use a frame to machine quilt (such as Cathy) are still with me on this thread, can I ask if any of you float your batting and if so why and if not why not?
OK, I just went back and searched the QB for topics on floating the top (oops, not the batting as I previously said) and it appears that some like and do it and some don't. Guess I will be in for some trial and error.
