I have a quilt I'd like to SITD around 8" squares. I don't want to have to quilt in the squares if I can avoid it.

I have Warm & Natural and it says you can quilt it up to 10" apart. Has anyone ever quilted that far apart and did you quilt hold up for a long life?

I want to trust the instructions but it seems so far between the quilting areas.

Thanks!

You will be fine. I think the stitching on W&N can be 10 inches apart.
I have stitched about 6-8 inches apart and the quilts are holding up great

i have used warm & natural ALOT over the past 10 years- and at times have quilted about 9" apart- going around blocks that did not get quilted further- those first quilts are still holding up just fine.
warm and natural has a scrim (which is a 'net' the cotton is punched through- a base) it holds the fibers together and makes it possible to have more open areas without the worry of migration.

it is the best batting choice in my book anytime i want mostly open large quilting designs.
