Question cotton batting (w/ scrim) by the yard-what kind do you use?

The warm & natural is getting to be really expensive, even on sale, so I'm looking for a new brand. i don't like the hobbs 80/20 that I tried-it kind of stretched apart when I was trying to smooth it and I prefer something where I can quilt further apart-but I don't think they're sold by the yard anyway. Full/queen/king cuts just result in waste and I'd rather avoid piecing batting if I can. Is there a similar brand that is less expensive but sews up the same? But with a scrim so it's not stretching apart like the hobbs did. I'd prefer something that has to be quilted 6" or bigger.

I looked at some pellon but it says to soak before washing and I don't really want to do that.
