    I use it also and purchase it at JoAnn's when it is on sale. I ususally by the largest bat that I can afford and get multiple quilts out of it. I don't have any problems with either hand or machine quilting, but I do have to say that I have not experimented much with different types of batting. I has some others that were donated to me but they did not have any identifying information. I just used them to be frugal.

    Mountain Mist is the only batting my great grandma would use. She has been gone more than 50 years so MM has been around for a very long time. I prefer Hobbs and yes, I too have a silk batting,have had it for a very long time, that I haven't used but now that I am back into quilting again am looking for the perfect pattern.

    Thanks for the tip. My next project is a baby quilt and I'd like to try this batting. I usually use Quilter's Dream Puff because I like the puffiness, but this is no more expensive and I'll give it a try.

    This topic is perfect timing for me since I decided to use one of the sev. rolls of Mountain Mist batting I've had for many yrs. I have a quilt top laid out on one since the quilt has no definite destination for now. After reading your opinions I hestitate to use it at all.
    So do any of you use that batting & are ok with the results?

    Am I the only one who likes wool batting? I love that it is so warm and it's puffier than 100% cotton. I just never hear anyone say anything about it.

    I like wool batting for adults who I can trust to launder it carefully. I wouldn't use it in a baby quilt that needs frequent washing in hot water. I really like the warm and natural for baby quilts because it stands up to abuse so well. Washing, dragging on the floor, thrown on the grass as a playmat -it takes it.

    I tried Mountain Mist rose cream for the first time last fall. Easy to work with, liked it alot. Previously used Hobbs 80/20. I like the MM rose cream better than the Hobbs 80/20. I really like Quilters Dream too.

    I too really like Cream Rose or Cream white both are very nice battings, with wonderful drape.. I use it for summer quilts. It feels just a bit thinner than Hobbs 80/20 , and the Cream rose has no poly so it perfect for summer quilts or when no poly is important.

    I recently used it for a baby quilt. It quilted nicely on my long arm but I had to use a double layer as I felt it was just too thin for my taste. I bet it would work great for hand quilting or someone who wants a low loft.
