I was going to purchase a roll of batting recently but I hit a batting clearance at a Walmart in the city. I opted for that instead since the packages were $3 and $5 and I bought all of them. I am however ready (I think) for one roll when I need it...I found a Christmas tree stand at a thrift store that has very wide spreading legs. I put a closet rod into it and tightened up the screws as tight as I could get them. I should be able to just slip the roll right over the rod and then pull the batting off sideways to cut to size. I hope it works out since my LA is in the alcove off my living room, there will be no hooks in the ceiling, LOL! My LA frame is an old Grace with no batting bar, besides I have all of stash stored under the frame in clear tubs.

Thanks for your help!
