I was soooo excited when I saw your post for the warm & natural batting. And then I found my JoAnn's flyer for this sale, and I didn't see anywhere that is listed this batting on sale :(
This is the flyer that comes in the mail too. I am in Michigan, and wonder if different states might have different items on sale!!! jody |

I use warm and natural as well. I love the feel and the weight of it. I also love the puckering as well when the quilt is washed. The batting is easy to use for hand and machine quilting. Luann in CT

I like how easy it is to sandwich & the warmth but it doesn't drape well, because it seems a little stiff. I hand quilted the first quilt I made with it & really did my hands in. Had to take a long break to let the tendonitis subside. If I use it again I will machine quilt it or tie it. I think it would be good for wall hangings.

W & N (by the yard) has been on sale for 50% off for the last two weeks. Yesterday I saw it was still on sale. I don't know if it continues this week; if it does, here is a 25% off total purchase coupon :)

I prefer W & N and since my quilts are 100% cotton they shrink together nicely. BUT I have been making many charity quilts the last couple of years and the budget simply won't stretch to the cost of W & N even tho I prefer it and think it is much kinder to my machines than polyester. It also contains scrim which I also prefer my batting to have.

I've used W&N in many quilts, it's my fav batting next to ther Quilters Dream cottons ... I've never preshrunk it either, it doesn't need it. I want that vintage look when it's washed !! It machine quilts beautifully, and I rarely handquilt anything now except a small project. If you want a softer drape, I'd go with Q Dream or Hobb's -
I haven't used a Mountain Mist batting in years, but I def would NOT mix any polyester batt with a cotton one. They react totally differently when washed ... |
"It's on page 15 of the ad" Well, that explains it. Checked my flyer, NO page #15 .... I'm guessing that page backed the coupons and I didn't bother to check it before I clipped them .... my bad!!! lol Thanks for the info :) jody |
I love the Warm products. There is a factory near me and the company is incredibly supportive of guilds and quilt groups in this area. They are very highly regarded here.
