I am a beginning quilter, and I am new to a forum layout, so I can't figure out how to add Texas to the location spot by my name. Perhaps I will figure that out in time.

I have been a seamstress all my life, but I have just recently started quilting. I joined the local Quilting Guild a year ago just to satisfy my sister, who has been quilting 12 years. I retired from teaching after 39 years and have replaced grading papers with quilting. So far it has worked well! I enjoy it, but I think I ask my sister too many questions. I hope this Quilting Board will help with that...

I asked this question elsewhere, but, just in case no one reads that...does anyone use polyester batting? I bought some before my sister told me she uses only cotton, and I want to use it, but not if it will mess up my quilt. I guess the question is does anyone use polyester batting and like it.

Hello, and welcome from Missouri!
I use polyester batting and am pleased with it. I am not a purist, and use whatever I have. We use it at church to quilt for others. If someone wants something special, they supply it, otherwise we use what we have on hand.

Hello and welcome from SW Iowa. Glad to have you here.

Okay, I think I have added Texas to the information at the left. Thanks for info on how to do that.

And, Sharon, thanks for saying you like polyester. I really want to like it, and I have already bought it. :)

Welcome from Western PA.

I agree with ShemJo: I use whatever batting I have, usually purchased on sale. I've never had any problems with polyester batting. I've used it in quilts that have been washed many times and in wall-hangings that rarely get washed.
