wow . I guess I am the cheap one here. LOL I use the 80/20 Fairfield . I am ok with it. I got some Warm and Natural and really didn't like it at all.

Boy would like to try wool, but I am allergic wool.

My very favorite batting is the washable wool from Quilter's Dream. It is soft, warm, and quilts nicely.

I also do long arm quilting. What kind of thread do you use?
I've found the Signature all cotton 40wt. 3 ply works well, but
would like to find out what someone else is using.
