when I hand quilt I use Quilter's dream "Request"

https://www.missouriquiltco.com/shop...YCEaAguB8P8HAQ

It quilts easily, drapes lovely , and washes beautifully.

W&N is too thick for me to HQ, but I use it for machine quilting just fine.

I've never quilted with wool or silk.....was mostly afraid of results after washing......

the Quilters Dream wool is washable, but because it's made w/ a thermal process, it is not recommended to be dried. I do suppose you could dry it on a low heat....I'll be hanging my throw to dry.

That was my impression when handling it at a show several years ago. Still drooling over that batting!

Quilter's Dream Orient is very easy - http://www.quiltersdreambatting.com/dream-orient.htm

Thank you, I'm also looking for some hand quilting batting. I ordered the Quilters Dream Request.

I belonged to a hand quilting bee for many years and several of us used Hobbs 80 2o batting.

W&N, W&W, poly, 80/20....all work fine. But, the best for me is wool....it's like going through butter

I love Mountain Mist Quilt Lite. The needle goes through like a dream. I can make the best stitches on it, whereas if I use anything with cotton in it, it is so hard for the needle to go through with even stitches. I get it when JoAnn's have their half-price sale or senior citizens sale the first Wednesday of the month.
