    batts that are recommended/ good for tied quilts say so on the packaging! you should always read the packaging carefully to see what the quilting recommendations are- some batts require being quilted every 2" (very dense quilting) if you use one of those for a tied quilt it will not hold up if washed-
    you really need to find one that says- good choice for tied quilts. the quilting recommendations on a batting package are important information- you can always do more than the recommendation- but the results if you do less are seldom good.

    I would not expect them to replace it or give any other compensation, they is why one should always read. I do a large stipple or meander and know it will work out. I use to buy Mountain Mist batting years ago, haven't seen it for years. I only tie comforters, never quilts.

    So sorry this happened to you....Hope through the frustration your quilt turns out!! I use Warm and natural for everything....you can layer it to get a higher loft but you can quilt it up to 10" a part. Maybe for tied it would work for you!! Happy Quilting!

    Although I have never used it, when we got our APQS long arm & took training it was recommended not to use this particular brand because it didn't hold together as well for loading over the rollers & the density wasn't as consistent.
