Oooh, but have you tried bamboo batting? It is SO soft. And there are no lumps in it. I will definitely use it in everything I hand quilt in the future, which granted, won't be all that many. I get it at Joann's and with the coupon it isn't too bad. Other than that I use Warm and Natural or Warm and White. Never had a problem with those, but the bamboo is softer and smoother.
