i've used it for almost every quilt i ever made, both by hand and fmq on domestic machine, as well as midarm on frame. It gives a nice high texture to the quilt. If machine quilting, don't quilt too densely, as this will result in a stiff quilt. Stitched by hand, they make the softest warmest bedquilts. the one hanging behind my photo is hand quilted polyester batting with flannel on back, made for a neigbour with ALS.

I actually prefer poly for my quilts in the northeast. They are warm in the winter, easy to hand quilt and don't wrinkle when stored. Also, comfortable on my wallet. I love Hobbs Poly Down. Have quilts that are more than 20 years old that have this batting and have held up well through much use and frequent washing. I purchase mine through Connecting Threads when they have their 30% off sales a couple times of year. They are wonderfully warm without feeling heavy.
