Yes, I have discovered Hobb's Poly down too and I love it also. And the last quilt I quilted with that and polyester thread came out super duper--hardly any lint to speak of. Cotton thread and cotton batting and I am cleaning at every bobbin change.
I can use any batting. I offer Hobbs polydown because I like how it looks. But it also doesn't collect any lint while I quilt or beard. SO I just like it. Some prefer cotton so they will send me cotton batting with thier quilt.

What are your feelings about cotton vs poly battings? Just curious, certainly not at all critical, as your quilting is absolutely marvelous.

Isn't that HObbs great! I can hear when my bobbin collects lint balls...and I have to clean them out or the stitching goes wonky...with that poly batting no problems at all. It is very nice. I can put on my ipod and quilt away without worry. :thumbup:
