    i like the 80/20 because i love the way they wrinkle up a little bit when you wash & dry them..

    I have used warm and natural and any low loft poly I can find. I've been happy with all of them. The poly doesn't gum up my needle as of yet. I used fusible bamboo once in a tiny quilt and it seems fine. I don't have any plans to wash it.

    I usually use poly. Recently I have been using Hobbs Poly-Dream and love it. It's so soft and silky and so different from any others I've used, which seemed wiry. I do have a question. It does not say on the bag how far it can be quilted. Does anyone know? Please and thank you.

    Usually cotton.However, I am occasionally given gifts of really lovely wool batting and I use that for special work.

    I use poly. I've never had any problems with it.

    Haven't come across this one yet. I'd like to try it so I'll be on the lookout for it. May in Jersey

    I like soft and bright. It is made by the warm and natural.

    I mostly use poly batting-it's what is readily available on my sewing street.
