    Default New batting?

    Recently I’ve been seeing frequent ads foe Birdie Bird batting. Has any one tried this? I try not to buy anything advertised on FB, been burned a few times!

    I was curious so googled. It is appealing in a way but very expensive

    That does look interesting, but I'm a skeptic. I have a flannel design wall and fabric doesn't really stick to it that well so I'm wondering how well this would really adhere. When I spray baste my quilts, i've never had them move or pucker. I'm wondering if this would really hold that well.

    There was another thread about this in October of 2019. Just use the search option it comes right up. If it's been out for awhile people might have some helpful tips if they have used it..

    I have looked at it but, right now, in my thinking, doesn't measure up to W&N.

    I prefer polyester or project Fleece. I like to stick with what works for me. I have been burned a few times trying new things or techniques.
