Joanns sells W&N by the yard - I think around $10 per yard and the whole roll is 40 yards. I wait till its on sale and better still till I can use a coupon on top of the sale price.

Even if you don't want to buy a whole bolt, many stores (both big box and LQS) sell batting by the yard cut from a bolt.

I've purchased it by the yard from a roll at Joanns many times. It is nice and fluffy. But I am just happy to have any batting in my stash when I want some be it rolled or folded.

That's what I always do. I even ask them to roll it up on one of their empty tubes so it stays wrinkle free until I use it. I haven't bought prepackaged batting since the 1970's when I was buying Fairfield poly batting...and you couldn't wrinkle that stuff if you tried all day and all night!

You can find a sale on a roll of Warm and Natural at Jo 'Anns for about $225.00 give or take . If you time it right you can get free shipping. That's for a 40 yard roll of the 90 inch wide. I love having a whole roll I can cut exactly what I need when I need it.

Whole batting bolts are the ONLY reason for me to Black Friday shop. I lugged home two bolts of batting for $375 this year. To go with the 1 1/2 bolts left from last year. What? I will use it, and I've got plenty of place to stash it.

Call Marshall's Dry Goods in Arkansas. They will quote all their battings. I buy Hobbs 80/20 that is 90" W by 30 yards and with shipping included it is $120. Or was the last time I ordered. The shipping was almost $20.00.

I paid right around $120 for Fairfield cotton with scrim @ Joanns using a 50% off coupon around Thanksgiving. When I was looking online, I did not find any free or even reasonable shipping offeres, so I guess you have to watch for those opportunities. It may also vary by your location?

I'm on my second roll of Warm & White batting. Taking a fellow QBer's advice, I now have it hanging on the wall and can just move my cutting table over to the roll, to measure and cut. Certainly beats having to work about dozens of folds and creases! It's also more economical, since I only cut off what I need. Much, much less waste!
