Batting question
Hi all -
Quick question on batting. I've always used Hobbs 80/20, as I found it to be reasonably priced, and not heavy. I like the cotton
I know some like dream quilter batting etc, but my specific question is has anyone used Pellon Natures Touch? I found some online at Walmart of all places. It's 80/20 with scrim, 120", $127 for 30 yards!
Just curious if anyone has used it and how they felt it compared to other brands.
(ps: I'm just using these on practice quilts for now, but with 30 yds they may end up being used in quilts I plan on keeping for the spare bedroom, etc).
Thanks in advance for advice and comments!
Chris

I found a bolt of Nature's Touch for a good price at Tuesday Morning and took a chance on it. I like it a little better than Warm and Natural. I plan on getting another bolt when this one is gone. Haven't used Hobbs.

I have purchased the Pellon Natures Touch from Walmart and like it---great for the price. I am using it now. I think it is slightly thinner than W&N or Hobbs, but even and have not found any uneven thin spots.

I bought a bolt of the Natural Touch batting at Tuesday Morning store. I went back and bought the last three bolts. I like it as much as Hobbs and Quilter's Dream. I haven't seen it back in the store. I have access to a lot of TM stores in within an hour from me and all of them have different quilting items at different times.

Do your Tuesday Morning stores have the fat quarter bundles? I got a couple of really nice ones from Westminster fabrics with 30 FQ but I haven't seen any more lately. I do pick up the 5 FQ bundles occasionally. Just wondering how my store compares with others. I keep looking for more Natures Touch but haven't seen it either.

The TM stores here have lots of fat quarter bundles and recently some quilt kits too.
