Best batting for hand quilting??
#12
Thanks, everyone!
I appreciate all the very helpful responses to my batting question! The best way for me to decide is to try each kind I already have and go from there! Happy Quilting everyone!

I never used anything but polyester for hand quilting ( started in the 70's. Recently, l was helping out a friend, finishing hand quilting her quilt's border. It had a 100" cotton batting...l've never had such a hard time hand quilting. I couldn't get my nice short consistent stitches. I would never use cotton. Wool, l think would needle much nicer.

I also am a hand quilter only and have been thinking of trying wool batting but am concerned about shrinkage. What if any shrinkage should I be concerned about.

I did the same....absolutely loved quilting with wool.... Will use it again and again! Quilting is easy and the quilt looks just wonderful, too. Good luck!!
