Is Quilters Dream the best cotton batting for hand sewing, then? It also needs to be reasonably robust, for a bed or sofa quilt.
I can't use wool, annoyingly, because we have a serious moth problem and it will disappear in months! My felt projects have all turned into powder.
I'm prepared to go with polyester, but am most temped by cotton because I'd like a more medium temperature quilt rather than a warm-and-then-warmer one, and it's possibly more environmentally friendly (at least if unbleached). I've uses two types of polyester before, one was horrid, all stiff and crispy, and one was nice and fluffy.
