Add me to those who respectfully ask you to post more information on the brand and type of batting - it's possible you were sent a cheap counterfeit rather than the actual batting you had ordered. I understand if you don't want to name the merchant, although you mentioned it was a "discount place", so if it's not a known online quilt/fabric store at least please confirm that. The more you can share, the more likely you'll save someone else from the same headaches.
I'm certain that it was some kind of a cheap off-the-wall kind of batting. As I mentioned above, I have no recall of the name of the place I ordered/bought it from due to the time span since I purchased it, and as there was only a label on the box that I discarded when I received it and nothing on the inside plastic bag of batting. If I remember correctly, the batting was only listed as 'Quilt Batting'. Thankfully this wasn't a repeat purchase, just a one time mistake on my part.
The batting definitely wasn't one of the name brand battings that we see all the time. I guess I would just pass on to everyone here that you don't need to worry about ending up with this batting, unless you purchase batting that is only labeled as 'Quilt Batting' only and not having a brand name on it.
Just to note: I wouldn't call it a counterfeit batting as to be a counterfeit it would have had to have a brand name on the batting, that was being sold as that brand name's product when it wasn't actually that brand name's product. Example: Like someone selling cheap jeans with a fake L E E label on them when they aren't actually made by L E E jeans..
