Favorite batting?
I like a nice cotton batting. What is your favorite brand? Do you buy it online and if so, from where?
|
I really like warm and natural.....and warm and white.....I buy queen size packages from either Joann or Hobby Lobby...especially when they have free shipping......My friends buy a whole roll with coupon but I don't have space for it....and since I only make lap size quilts for charity....works for me
|
warm and natural is by far my favorite.
|
Warm & White or Warm & Natural.
|
Hobbs 80/20 fusible is ,y favourite for machine quilting. For hand quilting I like Mountain mist pre packaged stuff from Walmart.
|
I love Quilter's Dream cotton batting...and my second favorite would be Hobb's Heirloom 80/20.
|
Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 or Quilter's Dream Request weight. I call Warm and Natural, warm and naturally stiff as a board. LOL I think the scrim makes it really stiff if you quilt it closer than the 10 inches apart it says is the max.
|
Wool batting is my favorite.
|
For cotton, I use Warm and White or Warm and Natural, and I haven't had any problems with stiffness. I really can't tell that there's a scrim in there. I recently tried Soft and Bright, a poly batt by the same company, and I really liked the quilting definition, as well as the soft feeling of the batting. Some of the cheaper poly batts feel "yucky" to me.

I prefer Hobbs 80/20, order it by the roll from Marshall's Dry Goods

wool batting is my favorite too- i also have tried and love all of the batts from the Dream company---dream wool, dream orient, dream silk, dream bamboo, dream green...they are all wonderful to work with, needle beautifully, i love them all. when i am not using a dream batt i (generally) am using a hobbs batt- the heirloom, 80/20, hobbs wool, all are very nice. i personally do not use w&n or w/w---but many of my customer's do- so i do quilt with it alot- it's...ok
but not my preference if i can not find a dream batt i go with a hobbs. (when ever i come across a new batt i've never tried before i pick one up & try it. there are so many wonderful batts on the market- i choose my batts by the project it is for- i never restrict myself to one particular batt-fiber or brand |
Quilters Dream Request is my new favorite. I used to always use Warm & Natural, but came across Quilters Dream Request. It's light weight and I love the way it drapes.

If I use cotton it is Hobb's 80/20. I just bought the Quilter's Dream wool and can hardly wait to use it. I think Quilters Dream is great stuff.
