Pellon Batting
Has anyone used Pellon batting (80/20 blend or natural cotton)? A roll is pretty inexpensive at the Wal Mart site but I'm wondering if it's worth it. I don't want to put a lot of work into something that won't hold up in the long run.
I'm a new longarmer and I'm looking for a good source for quality batting. Any ideas? [h=1][/h] |
joann's.com is a good source for bolts of batting- you can use a coupon & sometimes get free shipping.

I've used the one made with recycled materials. Eco something. My daughter loves the feel of her quilt and I know my son's gets heavy use and hard laundry and he says it's doing fine.
|
I used Pellon batting from a package for a queen quilt. It was the natural. I liked it and my fmqer said it was fine to quilt with. She actually has since bought some herself. I got it a Joanne's during a sale.

Thanks for all the comments:) I appreciate the info.
|
I used the Pellon 80/20 recently and thought is was indistinguishable from the Hobbs 80/20 which many quilters on this site swear by.
|
I use Warm Co Soft & Bright. I used to buy it at Joann's and my HQ Avante is fine with it. It holds up really well with repeated washings since most of what I make is charity quilts. It also doesn't require dense quilting.
|
If you follow the manufacturers recommendations any batting should hold up just fine. The batting is tested for maximum quilting distance.
|
You can get a roll of warm and natural often on sale at Hancocks or with a 50% off coupon.
