I would say it depends a lot of the quality of the batting and the fabric as well. Some poly battings are very easy to hand quilt through like the one I have used here - Tuscany Polyester. But I have also tried others and it was hard. I like the Hobbs 80/20 and it's wonderful for hand quilting, also the Tuscany and Legacy 100% cotton - but I don't like Cottons with a scrim like Warm & Natural. But of course, like many other things, it's a matter of personal choice.
Thank you for the information! I recently got Hobbs 80/20 for handquilting a queen size quilt. Please keep posting--I love to see your work!
