I use it, W&N, for wall hangings because it is a little stiffer than others. Last week I had a 50% off coupon for Joanns and I bought Hobbs 80/20 off the bolt. I don't know if all Joanns carry it though, this local Joanns also carries Mountain Mist Cream Rose batting which is a nice cotton batting similar to QD, but I haven't been able to find it at other Joann stores.

Does the Hobbs 80/20 make a fluffier quilt? I have a 50% off coupon now and need to find a batting that is a little puffier/fluffier than QD Select or Request. Or if you have another suggestion for batting.....Thanks.

I think it is very slightly fluffier than QD, not like a 100%poly or wool though.

My battery went out last Friday. When I bought it 4 years ago, it was $44, the one I bought last Friday was $91.88, there must be gold somewhere. Feel your pain.

Yes, those are my boys. Riley is on the right in the pic and Walker is on the left. They are going to be 4 yrs old in Oct and Nov and have been raised together since birth. We got them at age 1. They are the sweetest pets and I love them dearly. They get along wonderfully with our dogs. You can probably tell in the pic that they are minis.

Thanks all who answered my questions about batting. Been looking through my ads and online and apparently our Joanns doesn't sell Hobbs. I will try other online sources. I have noticed the Charismah uses Hobbs Poly/down on her LA a lot. Has anyone tried sewing with that on domestic machines (FM)? I love how it looks in her quilts.

Isn't that something you are the 4th person including myself that had to get a battery this year! That is too strange.

make it the 5th person who had to get a battery. :) We did too.

And thanks for the heads up on the sale. I already have a bolt of W&N but can always use more! :)
