I will probably stick with the cotton and poly batting.
My first choice is to just use precut squares and strips to create a lap quilt. I want to start small for the first few tries.
Problem right now is the machine I got today was totally unusable due to missing parts, possibly dropped package, and missing power cord. And based on my looking around the internet, there aren't any decent machines available. Everything I thought I would like are sold out. So this quilting thing is on hold until machines and materials start becoming available.
