    I know many like warm and natural, but there are so many that are just as good, as long as you don't get them at Walmart.

    Years ago warm and natural may have been the best. But technology has change the way battings are processed, as in any needle punched cotton.

    i only have poly at the moment but i guess i can order some but i was hoping to brig it to them this weekend and if i order i wont be able to do so...

    Ofcourse i wont use anything thats harmful for the baby but i m pretty sure they wont have anything flammable near the baby anyway so is it really a risk using poly then?

    I will order something else for the next quilts thou so plz let me know if there is any good offers aven if u see it in a shop and u can post to me i m happy to pay you for doing so but ofcourse i wont force anyone to do so, only if someone wants to :oops:

    I used bamboo once, recently- the one from Joann's- and I LOVED it. However, I have heard someone on the board had a problem with it making spots on their quilt.

    My SIL, who has the quilt with the bamboo in it, has not had a problem yet.

    The drape and the softness of it- just unsurpassed to me. I hand quilted that quilt and it was so easy to quilt through. There were no thick/thin spots, and all the folds and wrinkles that you normally see in bagged batting just sort of fell away when I opened it.

    I have used poly and did not like it at all, so mostly what I use is Warm and White. (I use a lot of white in my quilts.) It is fairly inexpensive and it is readily available to me.

    (Oh, and I did use a half-off coupon when I bought the bamboo, because it is pricey.)

    I use "warm & natural" so often I buy it by the bolt & I love it. When I need white I use "warm & white" I was in need of black batting recently & found that "quilter's dream" polyester is also great to work with & is similar in loft to warm brand.

    Hi, I use warm & natural for all my quilting needs. I love it, and buy it by the roll.

    I also use the polyester type for baby things.
    For my large projects, I like to talk it over with the person who will be doing the quilting. Between what I want and what she likes working with and/or keeps in stock, we come to a mutual decision.
