:thumbup: I'm getting ready to work on your DQ, it's close to being ready to quilt. I use packaged batting from JoAnn's most of the time. I just carefully pull it apart and don't worry if it is a bit uneven in a place or two. There is nothing holding the pictured one together!! I use it on a table or for nothing at all, so I havn't worried about it. I wouldn't do that if it was used much or I might tie it.
