batting affecting quilting
I have been have the best luck with my FMQ recently. I don't mean that its perfect, but it has been sooo much easier. No eyelashes and everything just does what its supposed to be doing
I realized that I have been using the same batting for the last several quilts. Do you guys think that batting can make quilting easier? I bought a roll of Hobbs 80/20 and things have really turned around.
Any thoughts

! Interesting! I have been working on a quilt using a polyester batting doing my free motion on my tiara and have not been really satisfied. Before that I always used Hobbs 80/20. Think I'll go back to that.

oh, YES! I believe bat makes a huge difference. I use Hobbs 80/20 or their wool usually. I like that neither are very linty and have found that poly bats, especially if they are lofty or don't have any density to them, tend to pucker more. I am using a double bat of Hobbs 80/20 and Quilters Dream poly (could not find black wool anywhere) and like the Quilters Dream poly cause it is stable.
