Wool is lightweight, warm in winter and cool in summer (breathes), and won't shrink (most are superwashed).

Warm & Natural.

I sent out a quilt to be hand quilted, she did not like warm & natural batting, did not needle well.

I like warm & natural. I have used Hobbs 80/20 with great sucess and a wool that feels lovely in a quilt. I sent one out to a longarmer who used poly in it and my granddaughter loves the quilt. The stitching was so defined and beautiful. So I guess you could say that all batting is good if you know what kind of a feel you want in the quilt.

I also like warm and natural that is all I use.

I live in Florida and find Warm and Natural is best for me. All my family is down here so a thick batting is too warm. It's easy to sew and very soft and drapeable on the bed.

I use Hobbs 80/20 most of the time. Joann's replaced it with Farifield 80/20 which I used recently and didn't care for. Just picked up a few Hobbs 80/20 while in Lancaster PA - had to look twice as it's labeled Cotton with the 80/20 mentioned in smaller letters further down on the bag.

For baby and kid's quilts I like to use a good poly like Quilters Dream, it's flat and lightweight and no bearding.

I dont like polyester....I use warm and natural.

I'm using bamboo right now and like it.

Usually cotton. I like Heirloom needle punch batting. Also sometimes use the 80/20 battings for wall pieces.
