I have another LA friend and she uses them a lot. I have gotten a few things from them with great service!

Thanks for that link! I'm loving it!

I order from them. They are fast. UPS destroyed one of my packages and they made it right for me.

They also charge the actual shipping charge. They give you a charge and then if the actual charge is less they charge you the cheaper rate.

I order my batting and thread from them because even with shipping it's cheaper than Joanns and Hobby Lobby. I don't have any place else around here. They are great to work with and usually ship quickly and I like the hobbs 80/20. Since I quilt mostly for charity I try to find the best prices and theirs are really good.

I do like the Hobbs' fusible and didn't see it on here.

Perhaps as another mentioned, if it is mostly for longarmers, that could be the reason.......I usually get mine from Connecting Threads, especially when they are running one of the 30% off sales.

My Sis-in-law and I stopped in at their business this summer on the way to her family's place. Some experienced LA quilters had mentioned they take trips there several times a year to stock up because their prices are awesome. We're just getting started, so we didn't buy anything other than a few teaching videos.

They have 100% bleached cotton in a King for $18.50. Like you, I despise "poof", but I am too new to know what would be similar to W&N...is it completely 100% cotton? I bought a package of 80/20 from a box store once, but have never used it as it seems incredibly stiff. In saying that, I have no clue how it feels once it has been washed.

Hey MTS. I always preferred Hobbs 80/20 because there is a little fluff showing off the quilting. You can look at my quilt that was in the Lap quilt contest & also my aviator. I did professional quilting for about 10 years and used NOTHING but Hobbs. When W&N first came out, there were literally chunks of wood embedded in the batting. It has improved since then but it always gives a really flat antique look to a quilt. When Mr. Bear, former owner of P&B was there at the closing of the wholesale store in Orange, CA, he made a bet with me that I could NOT get the six rolls (30 yds per roll) of Hobbs batting in my 2 door Honda CRX. He lost the bet !! Any other questions, please feel free to PM me. :mrgreen:

MTS--sorry I don't have a link to a pic done with Hobbs 80/20 but have done quilts with the W/N too and unless you know what the quilt is done with it is difficult to see a difference.
