I have ALWAYS used Thermore since my first trying it years back. My family loved it for softness and warmth. Somehow Hobb's decided - in their coporate wisdom - to put a "scrim"(?) on both sides that is stiff and doesn't soften at all. The reason I know this is I have an unbound quilt with the original Thermore as batting. Haven't bound it yet. Opened several new bags of Thermore. Realized the first new bag wasn't right! Then the second and then a third bag. All new nags were the same. Sure wish they had left a terrific batting alone!
Now what on earth can to use in it's place? Any suggestions?

I just talked to a professional long arm quilter who flatly will not use Hobbs since it has changed. He said it breaks too many of his needles and is not smooth enough. Ugh. I have used Hobbs exclusively up until this point. I am a hand quilter and loved poly down.
