I used a thin low loft 100% polyester batting for my quilt as it is going to be washed often and I thought it was thin to begin with but after I hand quilted it, it seemed to fluff up really nicely and I am pleased now I did not go for a thicker one. The lady in the quit shop advised me to go with the thinner one, I was glad I took her advise as I would have gone for the thicker one. My quilt is nice and soft and cuddly, I will be using this again.
