Fairfield Batting on sale at JoAnne's
Has anyone used the Fairfield batting that's on sale at JoAnne's? It seems like a good price but I've never used it and wouldn't want to buy 25 yards without a good recommendation. How does it compare with Warm & Natural or Pellon Nature's Touch?

I would recommend just purchasing a small Fairfield batt and trying it out before purchasing a 25 yard roll of it.
I know a couple people who purchase Fairfield battings- they have no preference- just grab the cheapest at the time. It is nothing like warm & natural.

I'm not a brand snob generally but if it works...I tried Fairfield batting many years ago when I first started out and I was not impressed, it seemed to tear easily and have thin spots. Decided to try the Warm Company poly batt (Soft & Bright) that was half the price of W&N and I haven't looked back. I've heard good things about Pellon batting too.

I think you already have made a decision, but for others looking for a good batting, my very favorite is Dream Green Polyester. It is soft and easy to work with. It doesn't tear, no thin spots. The only place I can find it right now is on either amazon or fabric dot com. It is reasonable priced too. (of course doesn't shrink like cotton batting might.)

I agree with the Soft and Bright. I have been using on and off for a year. I like it alot... I also use W&N too..
