I like the 80/20 warm and natural but have alot of waste cutting down twin size.
I heard you can use some kind of tape to put pieces of batting togather, do you know what kind?

Which batting are you referring to? I thought the W&N had gotten thinner.

Either the quality is going downhill.....or this is considered "summerweight"???
Never realized there were different thicknesses because I never had this happen before.

I made quilts for my 2 grandsons who live in the mountains in Colorado and used the Quilter's Dream Wool. I wasn't sure about it because it didn't seem that heavy, but my daughter loves it...she says it's light weight, but is very warm. I machine quilted it, but I understand that it's great for hand quilting as well.
