Batting
 

Has anyone bought batting from connecting threads? Just wondering which is the best one to buy?

Thanks

Hobbs products are wonderful. I use them almost exclusively. Which to buy depends on so many different factors. How much loft do you want? How close/far do you want to be able to quilt? Are you hand quilting or machine quilting? Is warmth a big factor? Do you want a lot of definition in the quilting? Is this a childs quilt that needs to hold up to a lot of rough love and many washings? Is this a quilt for a senior in a nursing home that is subject to industrial laundry? Is the quilt a show quilt or a utility quilt? What is your budget, is price a big factor? As you can see there are many factors to consider. The descriptions on CT for each Hobbs batting are pretty comprehensive. Why don't you take a few moments to read the description on each batting and them make your decision.

I buy the Hobbs wool batting and 80/20. I use a double layer of the 80/20 for most of my bed quilts. I buy the black batting too.

I use Hobbs 80/20 and have gotten it from CT on sale. You can also get it at Hobby Lobby with 40% off coupon it is cheaper.

Hobbs 80/20 is one of my "go to" battings. I love their wool battings but its more $$$.

I use the Hobbs 80/20 from CT and love it!!!! Its on sale until the 10th.

I order Hobbs Polydown all the time from Connecting Threads. I do long are quitling for customers and that is the main batting I use. My cistomers like it for a poly batting. I have also used the Hobbs 80/20 when I want a cotton batting. It dies shrink more than the Warm and Natural cotton batting and is just a bit thinner--but I like it.

Thanks everyone for your help

I get my batting from them. I use Hobbs 80/20. It is easy to get under my DSM to FMQ. Also drapes better and not so heavy. Love Connecting Threads. I get their thread and sometimes fabric. I love the quality of the fabric.

I'm so used to warm & natural with the scrim that when I tried hobbs, it felt flimsy. As I smoothed it out it kept trying to stretch and move all over so I decided to stick with W&N.

I use a lot of hobbs battings and purchase them from connecting threads often- they have good sales and free shipping at $50 so I can usually grab a couple when a sale comes along. as for which one??? well that depends on you, your project, which batting is best for what you are going to use it for. read the descriptions and choose the batting that has the properties you want- allows the quilting space you want (some need to be quilted densely - like every 2", others allow a lot more space between quilting lines- it's important to choose one that coincides with the quilting you plan to do) personally I love the wool batting- but it is expensive & I reserve it for the really special quilts (not that they are not all special) I often use heirloom 80/20; sometimes I want a fusible one, it all just depends on what I need the batting for at the moment.
