Best Batting
Ladies, I would like to know what you use for batting and if anyone has any suggestions for me. I have always used Warm & Natural but recently have found out from a quit I made that my ceiling fan air penetrates the quilt and I can feel the air. I love the fact that the quilt is lightweight, but it just isn't as warm as I would like it. I want a batting that will make me sweat under the covers like our grandma's used to make. Is there such a batting? Suggestions wanted/needed....HELP!....Teresa

Poly batting will be generally warmer and still very lightweight feeling but I'm not sure if it'll be a better barrier to ceiling fan wind. I would kind of think it would be, since it doesn't really breathe, but I can't say I've tested that!
You could also try a double-batting of W&N, but that will not really be a lightweight quilt anymore.

I like to sleep under a quilt that has some weight . I use two battings on many of my quilts. Do note I send out many of my quilts to a Long Arm pro... as a double batting makes it way too thick to quilt in my machine.

I have always preferred Hobbs 80/20 and have been using it ever since Hobbs introduced it. But the Cadillac of batting would be Dream Cotton. Call them and they use to send samples of their batting. Tell them what you are looking for. They were always helpful to me. They are located on the East coast.
