OK -- now for a REALLY DUMB question. I've never purchased batting "by the yard." I know I've seen it at JoAnn's, but I've never stopped to really look at it. Here's the question: what widths does it come in? Is it folded on the roll? From looking at the picture, it seems that it is folded. I could probably find the answers to these questions but it's more fun reading all of your answers. :oops:

The roll of warm and natural that I have is a single roll. It is not folded on the roll. If I had room I would get more rolls of different kinds like someone else has on here. What a wonderful thing that would be.

I can buy batting in 93" and 122" wide rolls, yes it is folded. I have found there is a very little price difference in the wider rolls, so that's all I carry, and sometimes it ends up saving the customer some $$$.

For a 70x94 quilt, here's how much would be needed (I need at least 8" extra length and width):

93" wide batting would need 102" (2.83 yd)
122" wide batting would need 78" (2.43 yd)

It's almost a 1/2 yard less by buying the wider width. And on larger quilts, there's no need to join pieces.

Clear as mud??

Yes, I understand. I think I'll try this the next time I'm ready to make a sandwich. Thanks.
