What is "bearding"? Thanks

Its when the batting pokes thru the backing.......... leaves little 'fuzzies' where the stitching went thru

I usually only use W&N or W&W. My DH has me buy it by the rolls. Shortly before cotton went up, we ordered a couple of rolls and several pkgs of the king-size so I should be good for awhile.

My LAQ prefers Quilters Dream. I have always used Quilters Dream poly and now, for warmer quilts, they have come out with a Dream Puff (by Quilters Dream) that is supposed to be warmer than down! Am doing my first quilt with Dream Puff to see how I like it.

I love Hobbs Poly down batting. Very nice. I buy it by the roll from Quilted Memories LLC (online). She also had smaller sizes and all are very reasonable. She even mails it and only charges the mailing rate for her shipping.

My 6'5" Grandson, his 6'2" brother and cousins (all guys0 HATE 80/20! Too heavy, can't scrunch it up 'good'. My grandd aughter also tends to like polys better. They are my test panel :-D . even used wool -- another no no no. In fact, allof my family seems to prefer a think warm poly. I would think you should try it. MAke a tv watching lap quilt and see how you like the feel etc. Am SO with you, poly is very comforting. Let us know about how yo do. Julie |

I use Hobbs 80/20 a lot, soak and dry it first and it's nice and soft. Thermore is nice and thin but it annoys me as it sticks to my fingers. Latest favorite is Quilter's Dream Poly, a bit more expensive but it's so good. May in Jersey |
i have used poly, but i like the 80/20 better because when you wash & dry it, it shrinks up a little & looks like an older quilt... that is the look i prefer, so worth the $ to me.

Even though I like things natural (and I do use all cotton bating for now) I have benn wondering about the bamboo recycled stuff for batting. Has anyone used it?? What do you like or dislike about it? Sophie
