Hi there,

I have never used Hobbs 80/20 but was thinking of buying a big roll of it online. Do you use it? Where do you buy yours? and of course best price shipping etc.. Much obliged!

I have used it a lot. Unfortunately, none of the stores around here carry it anymore. So, I guess I will have to order it online. Really haven't priced them on line yet so can't help you with price. I'll be watching this thread too.

Hobby Lobby carries it in our area.

see if you can find more than person in your area to order it...the shipping will astound you!

I like it and only the quilt shops around here sell it. I have used it in my most special gift quilts and have not ever been disappointed.

It's been my favorite batting for 10 years. I like the softness of the quilt when it is finished

It a very good quality batting. I have used it off and on depending on the quilt for years.
JoAnn's used to carry it , but stopped more than a few years ago. I don't find any of the Hobbs products at mine. Not sure if that's a Corp decision, but I keep looking for it at JoAnn's .. no such luck at mine.

hobbs has been making batts a very long time...they are very nice to work with-
if purchasing where it will have to be shipped try to find free shipping!
when i ordered my warm & natural bolt- i did it with a 40% coupon and free shipping available after spending $150---the batting was a bit over $200 so Yea--no shipping charges!
i've not seen hobbs available by the bolt---but that is cool if you can get it.
one way to save shipping also is to go to your lqs---and ask if they would order it for you with their next order- some will- some won't - never hurts to ask-
my lqs will order things for me when it is something they do not normally carry-but is available through their distributor

I use it when I want that old fashioned look after washing as it shrinks(up to 3%). It has to be close quilted though, no less than 4" apart. If I don't want shrinkage, ie on a wall hanging or more contemporary design or if I don't want to quilt so close, I use a Quilter's Dream batting - either Poly Select or Blend - the latter being my favourite.

I only got to use it once, someone handed me down a crib size piece she wasnt going to use, and I LOVED it. I usually just by poly, what I can afford@
