No poly here. I prefer cotton.

I like the puff of poly and use cotton only if it's something that I want to be flat. Too, poly washes and dries easily for quilts that are laundered more often.--my opinion anyhow.
|
yes. i have some too. will make poly stuffed Owls soon for my great grandsons.
OH it's batting. No not me. I do not like puffy quilts at all. just a preference. |
another vote for poly batting, low loft poly has been my go-to for years, no issues with it.
|
I love the look of quilts with polyester batting. When I wash them they get nice and crinkly. I just wish I could find the thicker stuff I used to get when I made homemade comforters before I started making quilts.
|
Our quilt guild uses polyester batting for baby and children's quilts to be given through various organizations. They do look so pretty with the puffiness. For my personal quilting I prefer cotton or 80/20.
|
I should say i like thin poly batting. i sometimes use Hobbs Thermore. comes in a gray bag.
|
I do for wall hangings or small quilts that will be hung--poly doesn't show creases as much as cotton.
|
I have never purchased poly batting.
|
I read somewhere that using the poly batting is like using steel wool ...the fibres are abrasive and the quilts wear out quicker. I haven’t felt good about using it since reading this. Cost wise it sure is cheaper and I do like the look, fluffier, . Anyone else hear this ?
