i would buy it off the roll, but i never see 108" on a roll at joann.
there's nowhere else around me. |
I like it off the roll if I can get it. The bagged stuff always seems wonky to me and the creases are a real bear to get out. Plus on the roll I get exactly the amount I want. Not a presized amount.

I get w&n and I pike it on the roll I will buy like 5-10 yards at a time and have them roll it on a tube for me. Much easier to deal with and with less waste. I have only gotten bamboo in a package but that was because I haven't. Found it local untill this last quilts.

Off the roll you can buy only what you need and thus control the cost. It does not have the folds you discussed. I use warm and natural or warm and white from the bolt and really like it. You can find this on sale many times.

I online ordered mine on a roll. It is stored under my bed in 2 very large plastic bags to prevent dust getting on it. It is super wide.
Got it through Cranberry Quiltworks. The deliver out here from California, so I can get it with no tax or s&h. BTW. I'm still on my first really big roll. When i do charity quilts we are given poly batting, so I use what is given. ali |
I use low loft polyester, packaged. It's easy to store and I buy it on sale at Jo Anns. I'm going to try the 80/20 next time. I don't buy warm and natural since I never know if I'll hand quilt it or not.

Batting is expensive no matter what kind you buy or where you purchase it. I buy it by the roll because it is cheaper and I can cut exactly what I need. Every year in January my local LQS has a batting sale and brings up a load from Waco Texas to Canada. They take pre-orders and sell it at 40% off the regular price. Many quilters split a roll (30 yards) with a quilting buddy. I always buy a roll of Polydown (my favourite for kid's and frequently washed quilts) and a roll of W&N if I need it. I may order 80/20 or Quilter's Dream this year as many of you seem to like it.

I think the regular price her on Warm and Natural is 13.99 a yard.
