    Thanks so much everyone. I'll put it in the dryer as suggested. It was in a bag ($10.00 off at Joann's with an extra 10% with coupon). I have always used Mountain Mist Polyester, as that was considered the "best" back in the 80's. I've always stuck with that until I joined this great informational board and learned about Warm and Natural. I've used Insul Bright before, but thought I would try the Warm and Natural this time.

    Also on reading some of the messages on batting here on the board, I have found some conflicting information on which way the batting should be place. Some say "bumpy" side next to the top, and some say toward the bottom. It does not say on the bag, so what is your opinion. Thanks again.

    When quilting on the frame, I always put the "bumpy" side against the top. :)

    If you read the Warm Company's site, you'll see that the scrim is now in between the layers of cotton and is no longer on one side or the other. They've changed the way they manufacture it.

    I also wash and dry mine first, as do I my fabric. It keeps the finished piece flatter, and the surprises to a minimum after the recipient washes it.

    I think I read that they came up with a new batting that's 100% cotton
    called "Warm & WHITE". Anyone tried that yet?

    (EDITED: Sorry it should be 'Soft & Natural' that is supposed to be 100% cotton.)

    BTW, my last bag of "Warm & Natural" states 81.5% Cotton/12.5%
    Polypropylene. I find this a bit misleading because on their website it
    says 100% cotton fibers. Either it's 100% or it's not.

    I've never bought W&N in a bag. I'm going to have to look at the wrapper/runner the next time.

    Please do. It's in very small print at the back.
    I don't think it has changed. I just checked the W&N at fabricdepot.com
