You could just tell that woman "had an attitude" when she wheeled that cart up and started making demands.....decided I would just keep my mouth shut !
The PLUS side is that while I was waiting I met a sweet 87 year old lady that told me she had had a stroke but was recovering enough to sew a bit and crochet....she told me she crocheted using that yarn....you know, the irrigation kind ! Could of hugged her neck but she looked so fragile i might of broken her bones !
Got my stuff, got my 20% discount, met the 87 year old.....the down side was when I checked out they gave me a coupon for 30% to be used this week....I just can't afford to keep saving money !

I like Hobbs 80/20 batting (not the fusible version). It's a very nice soft, but slightly puffy, batting that is good for either hand or machine quilting. Washes up beautifully.
Connecting Threads has it on sale this week, with free shipping if your order is more than $50. A king-sized batt, which is 10 feet wide by 10 feet long, is $21. Here is a link to it:

Do you mean you are using Warm and Natural batting? I Googled Warm and Gentle batting and couldn't find it. If you are accustomed to Warm and Natural, you will find the Hobbs 80/20 softer with a better drape; however, it will need closer quilting. W and N allows quilting lines up to 10 inches apart; Hobbs 80/20 is more like 4 inches apart.

I bought 8 bolts of Warm and Natural batting several years ago when I found a clearance going out of business sale. I'm still using it for most of my quilts. I paid $12.50 a bolt with 15 yards on the bolt. Not having to buy batting now saves me lots of money so I don't mind buying silk and wool battings for some of my quilts. Never pass up a great clearance sale on anything you know you will use.
