I've got something on my mind
#11
I've used it and I nearly always hand quilt - no problem! And if someone said that to me - I do it ON PURPOSE just to prove them wrong! Never say never! I agree that it's so stable it's like a blanket - hardly distorts at all. And gives a lovely, soft antiquey finish to the quilt.

I only hand quilt and I only use Warm and Natural. I have no trouble with the needle, I use a #12 or #10. I also use a little rubber pullie thingy!
I love the finished feel and the softness and the old fashioned look and can't imagine what that woman was talking about! It washes up so well and soft!

Could she just have been talking about beginners learning to hand quilt for the first time? As in "a beginner should never use warm and natural (for the first project)"
Because when I teach hand quilting classes, I do have the students use a thin poly batting for their learning piece. I like to make it as easy as possible for them when they are learning.

I also use warm and natural on everything!:)I'm sure their point is it is easier to get that needle thru w/that poly stuff...can't remember what it is called. But I don't like the feel of the poly batting when the quilt is done. The warm and natural just have such a great feeling to it when the quilts are done either by machine or hand. Besides....You should have stopped and shown these gals your biceps and told them you don't have a problem getting that needle thru:)LOL Now, that would have been a great camera moment!LOL Skeat
