Where does everyone buy their batting by the roll?
 

I am on my second roll. The first was Warm & Natural, and the current one is Quilter's Dream. I didn't like the little imperfection things on the Warm & Natural, and the Quilter's Dream is just way too stretchy. I'm about 3/4 of the way through the QD, so need to start thinking about getting another roll. I'm thinking about going with Warm & White because the W&N didn't stretch and it kinda clung to the quilt top when i put it on the longarm, which I liked.

Anyway, I want to know where everyone has found the cheapest prices for their batting.

Have you tried the Hobbs warm blend? I find it JoAnns when they do their 40 or 50 percent off. it is a thin batting... but not as stiff as the warm and natural.
For baby quilts, I like the Soft and Bright... it has a bit more loft, and is also much softer than than the warm and natural. I have a roll of all three right now....

I bought Warm & White, at Hobby Lobby, with a 40% off coupon.

Warm and white for me too. No imperfections found and I am about 3/4 of the way through a 45 x 40 yd roll bought at Joann's. Like you stated, it does cling to the fabric, which gives it wonderful layering qualities when combined with spray basting.

Oh, I was hoping some of you were buying LARGE rolls of batting and could give me advice. I get mine directly from Hobbs, but have to order 4 rolls or boxes to get a good price and affordable shipping. I only use Hobbs 80/20 and their polydown. Learned my lesson trying to use cheaper battings.

I buy the warm and natural on line from Joann's when they have it 50% off and free shipping. It is the 90" wide by 40 yds so it lasts me a while. It comes UPS so I don't have to haul it home in my car--just drag it to my sewing studio. I don't find the dark flecks any bother unless it is a white quilt then I will get the white warm and natural.

it is a little more expensive. i buy my roll from our lqs.

I do the same

I bought the warm and natural from Joanns with the 50% off - had it sent to my home - it is 90" wide by 40 yds - I love it - also I live 1 1/2 hrs away from anything that sells batting so this works for me.

I certainly know where NOT to buy it now. I can't find it at Joann's any more by the roll. They had some on the roll and you picked how many yards you wanted. It seems to have gone up though. I'm sure I didn't pay that much for it last time I bought it, even at 40% off.

www.longarmsupplies.net (connected with Linda's Electric Quilters) carries Hobbs batting in large rolls, small packages and by the case. A roll of Hobbs 80/20 (30 yards x 120" wide) is $137 plus shipping. A 96" wide x 30 yards is $110. Last time I ordered, shipping was around $25.

Marshall's Dry Goods sells batting by the roll. Our guild buys it for our donation quilts. All kinds are available. http://www.marshalldrygoods.com/quil...ls/cat_46.html They sell wholesale too. Call and ask for Sharon. She will give you the best price available and keep you updated on all good buys.

I buy the Fairfield cotton batting from JoAnn's with a coupon. Much more economical than warm and natural and works well for me.

I bought a roll of Warm & White when I had a coupon for JoAnn's~ :)

I am very interested in this thread. I will check out all of the sites that have been suggested. I am hoping to purchase batting by the roll as inexpensively as possible. I would be using it for Project Linus Quilts. Thanks for the suggestions and keep them coming.

Have a blessed day.

I don't know which weight of Quilters Dream someone found too stretchy but I use their batting on the roll in our LA business. In cotton - Select weight for traditional look, deluxe for wall hangings or show quilts you want to hang straight. Dream Puff for clients who want hi-loft poly. Their 70/30 blend. And my 2 all time favorites Dream Orient & Dream Wool. I am going to order some of their packaged batting for baby quilts. They are the only company with flame retardant batting. I thought that might be good in donated throws for nursing homes or at-home invalids also.

W&N on the roll - i get it from Joannes with a 50% off coupon... it gets shipped to my house.

Hobby Lobby will sell you as much as you want, even the entire roll, and let you use the 40% off coupon. From what I've heard, you can even order an entire roll, if they don't have one in stock, and use the coupon.

Our Walmart carries Warm & Natural for $6.97/yd. every day. I've never bought a whole roll, but I've bought at least 10 yards at a time. JoAnn's with the 50% coupon might be even cheaper, I guess..

i don't know what you mean by the roll, but my favorite batting by a million miles is the hobbs heirloom washable wool. it's warm (really warm , but cool int he summer) and is a dream to hand and machine quilt.

batting is expensive. everything lately seems to be so expensive. crop failures world wide and all the rest....welp. expensive.

i am using that white warm and natural right now and it is painfully thin. if i were to use it again i might actually be tempted to double it up.

am i helping? no, i don't think so.

i sure do like that wool. and someday ima win the lottery and try that silk. gorsh it feels lovely on the roll....

I get mine at JoAnn's. This past weekend I had a 60% off coupon and a 50% in store weekend coupon and walked off with two large roles that should keep me going for a month or so while I attach my unfinished pile of of quilts. I have been purchasing Cream and something or something and Cream. Can't remember the name. I like the Warm and Natural but the store that carries it is farther away than JoAnn's and seldom has a 50% off coupon. I keep finding tops that are finished but not layered and quilted. Now, how does that happen? I have vowed to get some of these finished and out of the way this summer before starting new projects. Hang on new projects..... I am coming!

I diddo the Marshall's Dry Goods for bulk rolls of Hobbs 80/20. They have some other battings, but I'm not sure of the manufacture. Quilter's Dream is one of the better bats out there for drapability. But Hobbs is one of the widest used. Warm & Natural is also up there in popularity too. I keep an eye on prices & try to get it on sale whenever I can.

Go to wholesalequiltbatting.com and see what you think of their prices. They have several brands with lots of kinds.

Just watching this thread as well I need the helpful hints too : )

Warm and Natural........at JoAnn's when I have a 50% coupon.

What imperfection are you talking about on the Warm and Natural?

Love it and have never gotten a roll with imperfections in it.

overstock.com.... shipping is never more than $2.99 and sometimes a dollar or free. Now I am talking a bolt and I think it's a good price. I live rural so 100 miles round trip for me to get batting ect. that 10 yards of fuse able fleece for $52.00 seems very reasonable.

I try to buy mine when Hancock's has theirs on sale. If yo can only buy one item, I will buy a roll of batting, warm & natural or warm and white. I have been able to buy several rols by doing this.

I buy a 30 yard 108" wide roll from Linda Taylor at www.equilters.com
( I think that is the correct site) I can get around 10-13 or so full to queen size quilts and some baby quilts and if I do some baby quilts I piece the batting together as not to waste it. If interested I will double check the site's address or google Linda Taylor, she's in Texas

I bought my roll from Hancocks last time it was on sale

Same here!

I use FiberCo out of Ft. Worth, Tx. They have every type you can imagine. I prefer their 80/20. Their number is
1-800-828-3778 if you have questions or want a price list. They ship everywhere.

I used to buy mine from Kingsmen quilting supply. However, they are downsizing and don't have it by the roll anymore. I just checked out Marchalls dry goods and a 30 yard roll of 96" wide Hobbs 80/20 is $110 - with shipping to me it would be about 145 - making it 4.80 a yard. I prefer the Hobbs 80/20 over the warm and natural. I also like the Hobbs Wool.

I buy from Hobby Lobby with 40% off and have been buying whatever they have left on a roll - both warm and white and warm and natural. Really need to do the JoAnn's 40% off/free shipping sometime.

That is also where I get mine. Have always been happy.

On Wednesday, December 9, 2015 the clerk at the Omaha JoAnns told me the rolls aren't on the floor. She went to the backroom and brought out the box of 40 yd x 90" using a handcart. The sale price was $429 (marked down from $600+). Yikes...when I told her it was more than I was willing to pay, she was very offended. I just found a doorbuster price of $259. at Joann.com. No coupons apply.
I love the Request weight of both the Dream Cotton and Dream Blend battings. I order bolts directly from the Dream company. Shipping is $30 for a bolt. We also like the Warm and Natural which I have ordered the large bolt of 40 yards with a coupon during a sale from JoAnns. All have created nice weight quilts.
I live in rural Iowa which is 90+ miles from Omaha and St. Joseph so we order online.

Check out Walmart.com.....just got Pellon Natural Cotton 90"x 15 yds for $110....I am a diehard Dream cotton user too and it was really hard for me to switch to something I had never tried but I am very satisfied with it so much that I bought a second roll.

I buy Hobbs 80% cotton and 20% wool, by the roll as well as Warm and Natural 100% cotton (Bleached white). Both purchased online

This is just what I do too!

I buy 90" x 25yd rolls of Warm & Plush from walmart.com.

I paid $130 with free shipping for my last roll. I am super happy with it. It doesn't have the little seeds & twig bits that W&N does & it gives nice definition to my quilting. The price I received was better than JAF with a 60% off coupon.
