yes, i will do that next time. with so many rave reviews for it, i thought i'd be "safe"...its probably a case of the product being better at one time than it is now. if i'm stuck w/ the batting i have, i will just use it for smaller projects and double it. Can someone tell me if this problem would be obvious if dark fabrics and backing? i wonder if it'd still look discolored with the splotchy appearance?

I've never used it, but I think you should notify Pellon, and I'd still try to return it even though no receipt, they will probably give you store credit at least. Most stores will anyway.

I am not at all surprised that a white quilt held up to the sun can be seen thru. Do you have any other quilts with a lot of white that you could hold up to the sun and compare the two. I do not find it to be strange.

Pelon is such a reliable company for stabilizers and such, I would call them or write to let them know the problem, I would think they would take action to rectify the problem. Like someone else said it is probably a quality control issue and they would want to start getting it corrected from within

I only use the brands I have used since they first came out, Hobbs 80/20 and Quilter's Dream.

Since so many receipts are printed on thermal paper, I also make a copy of it an try to keep it away from any heat like a window. With smart phones you can also take a photo of the product and the receipt. I put it in my monthly QT (Quilt tools) purchases.

Yes, I agree with this. I have used Pellon's Nature's touch 100 % cotton almost in all quilts since I first came across it about 2 years ago and love it. I really hope the quality hasn't gone down. I just bought a new bolt, haven't yet opened it.

I bought two crib size Pellon 60/40 as it was on sale at JoAnn. I am extremely dissapointed it is so thin. Luckily I cut it for table runners and not a quilt. I prefer Hobbs 80/20 as it has a nice soft feel and quilts up nicely.

The batting I really love is Warm & Plush. It is about 50% thicker than Warm & Natural. It is very soft and is perfect for trapunto (which is what I have been using the free sample they sent me to work on) or for general quilting. It really show the details nicely. I haven't noticed any issues with seeing through it. JAF doesn't always have it in stock in their stores. Sometimes I see it in certain sizes, other times I don't. Their website seems to stock it regularly.

I am about to place an order for a roll of it to use in a few of my upcoming quilts -- one that's going to be in a show in August & another one that I designed myself and hope to submit for display at 2016 Quilt Week. I can't recommend it highly enough. Might be worth a try if you're like me & prefer to only work with all natural fibers.
