Also only buy it when I have a great coupon for it (usually at Joanne's).

I almost always buy the warm and natural or warm and white now. Also buy it at Joann's when it's on sale or I have a coupon.

I used to buy Hobbs 80/20, but my Joanns doesn't carry it anymore. Batting was on sale this week, so I bought Mayfield Quilter's 80/20. I really like it! This will be my new batting of choice from now on.

I like the warm and natural because I hand quilt and it is so much easier to work with.

I am a hand quilter and I like the Hobbs 80/20 and the Legacy 80/20, but also battings made of 100% cotton - Tuscany, Legacy or Quilters Dream.
I prefer an antique look with a nice drape, so cotton or cotton blend is a good choice for me.

I like bamboo, but only when I have a coupon. Mostly I use warm n natural. But, I just got some wool batting the my longarm instructor suggested. She said its all she uses. It has a really nice feel and shrinkage is the about the same as warm n natural.

It depends on the project. My quilts use Warm and White or Warm and Natural. When I make a bag or a jacket I use fusible. It makes life a lot easier. I am making a string quilt right now that I am using the fusible.
