It depends do much on how the project will be used and the intent. For runners and table ware , I like warm and natural , it preshrinks better than most battings and the structure lends itself for this kind of project. I do use it in some quilts, the heavy use type, as the scrim holds up and there will be little clumping of the batting from frequent machine washings. I do like Hobbs 80/20 for quilts, but find preshrinking is not as "goof proof" as warm and natural. I do sometimes double batt my quilts using combinations to get just the right final results.
