Default Would you ever . . . ?

I am hand quilting a Dresden Plate top made with 30's fabrics by my great-grandmother. I decided to use a wool batting for the first time, as I'm a spinner and knitter, and I love wool. However, this batting is slick and even with careful basting the fabric slides around and is threatening to pucker on the back. So far I've avoided any disasters by being very careful, but this isn't much fun. I wish so much that I had used my old standby, 100% cotton, as both the top and the backing would have clung to it better, making my job easier. As I stitch, I've considered getting out the seam ripper and removing all the quilting, putting in a cotton batting instead, and starting all over again, At this point I've done about 1/5 of the quilting. Would you ever consider doing this? Have you ever?
