I usually just buy it from Joann's with a coupon but the last time I bought it, I didn't look at it closely assuming it was the same as always.

I just brought it out to work on a quilt to discover it's VERY THIN!!! I'm doing a QAYG for a gift and already have half the batting cut and ready to go. When I pulled out this new stash, it's half the thickness.

Either the quality is going downhill.....or this is considered "summerweight"???

Never realized there were different thicknesses because I never had this happen before.

I use W & N. I pre-wash it in the bath because I don't like the crinkly look!

Just don't use 100% polyester.

I just bought Hobbs batting here at Michael's. I live in Canada, so I'm not sure if Michael's anywhere else carries it,but it might be worth a try.

I use washable Dream Wool all the time. My customers really like it. I have used it in my own quilts. It is light and very warm.

Does anyone know if moths are a problem with the wool batting? I had heard great things about it and bought some for a project I am doing, but I saw a tute from Alex Anderson where she said she was afraid that moths would get into quilts that you hang on the wall.

Wow , thank you for all the info on batting , I sure learned alot ! I've only used warm and natural cuz I wasn't sure about all the others.

My vote goes to bamboo. Warm, easy to work with.

I have a question about batting.
My quilts are lap size and have not found a batting to fit.
Crib is too small and twin is to big, so what do you do?
I like the 80/20 warm and natural but have alot of waste cutting down twin size.
I heard you can use some kind of tape to put pieces of batting togather, do you know what kind?
