I perfer Warm and Natural or Warm and White but if I want something light and puffy, I use a poly batt.

thank you all i do lots of hand quilting and i want something to last

i also like warm and natural.. but boy has it got expensive! now only when i have a coupon....

I usually use warm and natural or warm and white...I love it when JoAnns has it on sale for 40 or 50% off, the wide batting on the roll...that is a deal, and I try and stock up on it...that being said, I also have used other types of batting from Walmart, Hobby Lobby, etc...and have had no problems with it, either...I think if I had to worry about buying things that I just cannot afford, it would take the fun and relaxation (barring fmq, at times....lol) out of my quilting...also, have heard if you quilt it properly, according to whichever batting you use, there should be no lumpy problems...I kinda liken it to sometimes I wish I could afford a top of the line quilting machine, with a stitch regulator, etc...but, right now I can't, and I am grateful for the machines I do have...and they seem to do just fine...
Good luck,
Kan

thank you all
