I make tied quilts and i use Quilters "Dream Green for batting. I space my ties 6" apart. I use the lil ruler with the slide thingy on it to make it easier to use. The batting i use is a soft polyester batting made 100% from recycled plastic bottles. It seems warmer than other battings but not so thick. I love it in my quilts. It lays flat and is good in all projects.It is very much like a fleece blanket.
