I used to use the Warm N Natural most of the time, but it is getting pretty expensive. Now I buy the Hobbs 80/20 from Connecting Threads when it's on sale. It's usually about $13.99 for queen size, and I buy a few, then add in something extra to get to the $50 min for free shipping. I really like the Hobbs. You do have to quilt closer on it though, 4" apart, where the Warm N Natural was 10" apart.

I have made a ton of quilt and used poly batting on almost all of them. I was cleaning out the attic and got down a package of the last batting I bought, a 10 yard roll of 48" wide for the price of $7.99!! can't beat that-- of course it was a few years ago, at Joann's. I may even have had a coupon...

I started out only using W&N, and I still have quite a bit of it (I bought rolls it from JoAnn's online), but recently I tried their Soft and Bright poly batting, and I love it! I quilt on the longarm, and the Soft and Bright is even more stable than the W&N, and it gives great definition to the stitching. It isn't available online, but my store carries full rolls of it. With a coupon it's a really good price.

Ok so i had a bunch of coupons at Joanns so i bought 4 yds of the Quilter's 80/20 batting. We'll see - it seems thinner than the Warm and Natural so not sure how it will do. I have to make a baby quilt and I will try it on that. I did check out the Hobbs 80/20 on Connecting Threads but I went to order 2 of the queen sizes and they only had 1!! :( On the other hand i did wander around the web and rediscovered Marshalls Dry Goods - only batting they had was 100% poly so i did not get it but oh BOY the batiks they had!!! My next purchase will be from there.
