BATTING
#1
I have been using bamboo batting for all my quilts. However, I was visiting an aunt and her quilt which she called a "summer quilt" was very light.
What would the batting be?
Here's how I've been looking at the batting issue. If I spend all that time and money on the top, shouldn't the batting be the best? YOu know what I mean?
PS And I do agree with this being one of the best boards.

Are you using the bamboo batting for hand quilting or machine? I thought I had read that it wasn't great for hand quilting. There are a couple of brands now, maybe one is better than another for hand quilting, anybody know?

I love the Quilters Dream battings - mostly Dream Blend, and you can quilt up to 12 ins apart. Also Dream Poly Select, and Dream Cotton Select. I just used Dream Puff for a cosy quilt, lovely high loft and machines beautifully.
Also use Hobbs 80/20 occasionally.

Thanks for your responses. I'm going to look for different kinds as stated.
I love the bamboo for machine quilting. It's so easy to work with.
I spray baste usually, so this is great stuff to use with it. Spray basting cuts the work and fingers in more than half.

I use Warm and Natural for most of my quilts. I like Hobbs wool batting and silk batting. I buy batting when it's on sale and I've been happy with all kinds and brands. The only batting I won't use is the starchy cobweb stuff.
