it is GREAT SAVINGS! to get to use one of the big coupons for a bolt of warm & natural!!! if you get the 40 yards of 90" wide you can quilt about 15 queen size quilts. smaller ones will of course make it go further :)

I use both natural and the white. The white allows you 10" inches between quilting. That is a lot of space between quilting lines. I have called the manufacturer and discussed this with them, just to be sure that was not a miss print on their labels. But yup, it's correct. For both hand and machine. I love using the white on my longarm for applique type block work.

Has anyone used this batting for machine quilting? What's your opinion of it.
I've been using Hobbs 80/20, and I like it for machine quilting.

Personally I like the little bit of loft Hobbs 80/20 has. It gives definition to the quilting without being puffy. The W&W is very flat and to me it seems hard. It also seems a lot stiffer after it's quilted.
They'll have coupons again. They always do.

I would not buy a whole bolt untill you try it first on a smaller piece. You might not like the results and then be stuck with 28 or so yards. I don't know how much is on a W&N bolt but Dream comes 30 yds to the bolt. That is a lot of batting if you don't like it.

I use both Warm and natural, and warm and white. I find the warm and white a little thinner, easier to quilt and more pliable than the other. I also prefer it when I work with very light fabrics.
That said: I do not like either one when they get overquilted. Not much drape and too stiff. However, losely quilted = warm and happy.
