Batting

I love using it but I ended up needing more batting, and I purchased Mountain Mist Ultra Fine. Big difference in how it handles. I am making the quilt as a quilt as you go, and the Warm and Natural stays in place when I am stitching these long strips. The Ultra Fine has to be hand basted first. Not loving it.

I use Warm & Natural exclusively. I find it easy to pin or spray baste, easy to quilt and I love the way it hangs. The best for a snuggle up and read on a rainy day quilt!! I try to stock up when it's on sale at JoAnn's or at least use a coupon.

Warm and Natural is a wonderful product and I have had great success with it. I do pre-wash before using it. It's a nice thickness and weight for most projects.
I would not recommend using such different types of battings in the same quilt (cotton & poly). If you don't pre-wash the W&N beforehand it will shrink some the first time you wash your quilt...the poly will not. Also, the effects created
by the quilting process could produce a very different look/result in each of those battings.
