I can't believe what a difference the type of batting can make

That is so cool to hear Grandma58, I have been wanting to try the wool in the worst way and I have it on my agenda for after Christmas. How do you feel it compares in warmth to the warm and natural. I love the 80/20 and do not ever think our beautiful works of art should have those cheap packaged batting in them. World of difference.

Materials of high quality are very important for me. Of course every quilter has own preferences but I saw so many students in my workshops struggling with their fabric and a cheap batting! It was almost impossible for them to get a good result. I prefer to buy less - but what I buy is of a good quality.

I love wool batting. I use it in the quilts I make for adults and cotton in the ones for little ones. I love the lightness of the wool. Whenever there is a sale at my quilt shop and I can use a coupon on one item, this is what I buy. Hobbs Wool is wonderful. I will also buy the wool at JoAnn's with a coupon. I like the touch of the bamboo and have used it in one quilt, but the wool really has my heart.
