batting

[Quilting Gram]

Which kind of quilt batting do you like best? I have used warm and natural but recently heard there is a softer batting that is easier to hand quilt but, Mom did not know the name of the batting. Any ideas?
Thanks

I'd like to know that too if there is one better for hand quilting. I normally use the warm and natural.

Re: batting

Love warm and natural - would love to hear about something softer!

Re: batting

Ditto! I use the Warm and Natural, sometimes Warm and White. I've also used the 80/20 (80% cotton and 20%poly), which is nice and soft. Not sure of the brand name on that, though.

Re: batting

I just purchased Quilters Dream and just opened the package so haven't had the chance to try it. It is ultra thin! The Warm and Natural is my favorite and fits my budget better as some batting can be a bit pricey. I am interested in what hand quilters use, too.

I have used bamboo batting. It is so nice.....very soft.

Re: batting

Shirley where do you find the bamboo batting. That even sounds soft!!! I LOVE bamboo yarns because they are so much softer to work with & the drap is great. I don't recall ever seeing bamboo batting where I have shopped. You're in Wichita so that's one of the places I have to shop for fabric.
