Question for hand quilters
#11
I have used everything and anything. I have no problem with the Bamboo or the all cotton. I basically purchase whatever will give me the look I want and hopefully it is on sale. I would prefer Dream Cotton Request for a special quilt. I don't mind working with poly if it is the thinner stuff. I like it for children's quilts and things I want to "Pop" when they are quilted.

I have heard that the bamboo batting will leave brown stains on light fabrics. I have not witnessed this personally but I do think about that when considering buying it. Perhaps worth some research before putting into a quilt you have spent much time and $ on.

You might do a search on bamboo batting here. There was a thread discussing it earlier this year.

I have used the Warm and Natural cotton batting. I love the batting, but NOT for hand quilting. It is hard to work with. I only take 3 stitches at a time but I still bend my needles...this is the only batting that I have had a problem with. Love it for machine quilting!
