Some quilters in my Guild use a cotton batt and a wool batt to make their quilting show up in our quilt show. The wool is on top. It definitely makes the quilt thicker. My son is 24 and loves his old puffy comforter from when he was a child. I have often wondered if that trend is returning.

I've used Hobbs Cloud-Loft batting. It's 5/8 in. I used it on a child's quilt, maybe 50 x 60 in. Quilted on a Juki TL2010Q. It's quite bulky, so I'm not sure I would attempt anything much bigger on my machine. But I was very happy with the results!

I will have to try that one! I have the same machine, so it's nice to know it will work in there.
I think my desire comes from the quilts my mom used to make, but she tied all of hers. I guess I will have to do some trials and see what I like best. I just need to find some consistency. I have one I used on my youngest's Thomas the train blanket (tied) that I love, but I can't remember what it was.
