I've used double batting lots of times- I have one customer who often wants a wool batting along with a cotton batting- the quilting shows up beautifully with wonderful definition when using double battings. did you have questions-beyond, has any one done it? I can not remember who it is---but one of the 'Big, Nationally known quilters has been using double battings for years- I first heard about it & tried it about 10 years ago

I quilted a "show" quilt for a customer using Pellon Legacy 80/20 with scrim on the bottom and Poly on the top - turned out beautifully! Her applique looked like faux trapunto. iIcan't post any pictures as she hasn't given me the go ahead yet.
I didn't have any problems (and I quilt ALOT of quilt for customers) and am sure I will do it again in the future.

all of the ones I've used double battings in are used-bed quilts. I love the ones with hobbs 80/20 heirloom & hobbs wool together best- they are lightweight, lofty, showcase the quilting; are fabulously beautiful quilts- they hold up well to laundering - if I could afford it I would quilt them all this way.
