Default Fairfield batting 80/20???

Has anyone used this batting, it is by Fairfield and it is 80 cotton 20 polyester..It said 2% to 3% shrinkage, no presoak, machine and hand quilting, Does not beard, shift or gather


I bought it at JoAnnn's a while ago and it was on sale for about half the price of warm and natural..Anybody know anything about it.
The size was 120x120

Thanks

I just finished a quilt with this batting. No lint and it has a real nice drape to it. This is my new favorite

I have no experience to share but I recall a recent thread about this product (or maybe it's a similar product?)

I have used the Fairfield 80/20 and find it to be an okay product, but like the Hobbs 80/20 which I feel is a little thicker, softer, and smoother.

The quilt I made, that I had professionally quilted (beautifully I might add) was done with 80/20 and washes great, drapes wonderful, and made a lovely cuddly quilt. I made it for a bedspread, and love it❤️.
