Does anyone use the Hobbs 100% cotton batting? I like the look a quilt has that has the Warm and Natural 100% cotton batting used. It seems like it is a heavier batting and it shrinks up nice to have a really old fashioned look. I have used the 100% cotton batting from JoAnns (not sure what brand) but it is a thinner batting and does not shrink up as much and thr final look, after washing, looks much thinner then when using Warm and Natural. I do like the Mt. Mist Cream Rose 100% batting from JoAnns. That has a heavier look to it yet after it has been washed and shrunk up. Now, has anyone used the Hobbs 100% batting and know how the finished look (after it is washed and shrunk up), compares to the Warm and Natural 100% cotton finished look? I have not tried the Hobbs cotton but it is on sale at Connecting Threads right now (30% off) and wondering if I should buy some for my stock, since it is much less expensive than Warm and Natural. Any thoughts?

I have not used Hobbs, I was wondering myself how everyone else likes it.

I love Hobbs Heirloom cotton batting.
Strange thing is tho, Joanne's stopped selling it years ago, but I can find it at some Hobby Lobby stores. Otherwise I order it from Hancocks of Paducah.

Hobbs Heirloom is 80/20 I believe. But Hobbs also has an organic all cotton that almost feels too good to put inside a quilt....feels like a baby bottom!! I love it for handquilting.

Oops, didn't remember that Heirloom is the whole line, not just the 80/20. But the love of the organic still stands.

I just looked on the Conecting Threads website. It says it is 100% unbleached, natural cotton. Tha must be what you are talking about. They also have the 80/20 and wool.

Watch the Connecting Threads website. YOu can sign up for their email notices. Every once in a while they have a batting sale, so I would think it would be cheaper than ordering it elsewhere. Plus they always have free shipping with $50 or more on-line order so I always try to order when I have at least $50 of things to order.

I have used Hobbs 80/20 and loved the results... its just hard to find locally.

I don't know if this is cheap or not but could this help you?

The Hobbsbatting.com site provides this number to call and ask for the Customer Service Department for the list of stores that carry their products. 800-433-3357

Batt-mart.com carries Hobbs and several other brands. I have ordered Airtex from here and just love it for thicker softer fluffier quilts that I tie.

Here is a link that has a section that compares different quilt batting.

Ditto for me. I have to drive to Ottawa to Walmart to get this. Morris Walmart doesn't sell it. First time I used it I loved it.
