Answer:
What a Great Print! My mom would love a pillow made of that.
Thanks for posting it. I do order from Hancock's whenever I can. I need to get my batting for my next quilt. Hope they still offer free shipping on online orders.

Answer:
What kind of batting do you usually use Grace?
I'm just ordered some Quilter's Dream cotton and will be trying it soon. In the past I've used Hobbs Heirloom.

Answer:
I've used both, but really like quilter's dream.
I'm trying to decide what kind of batt to use on my large pine tree quilt. It came out to be a king size! So will be quite a project to hand-quilt. My friend says maybe I should use the big-stitch method. Would make a nice comforter, but then I would have to tack it, as it would be too large to wrestle under the machine.
I would like to try the wool batt too, as I hear it is wonderful to work with.

Answer:
Which Quilters Dream did you use? I'm hoping the really thin one will be easier to needle (by hand), but I do like the feel of a slightly thicker cotton batting.
I have samples (crib/craft size) that I can test for hand and machine quilting. It's also important to me that the battings I use for myself/personally wash easily, so I'll have to test that also.
I'm also going to test the thinnest one as batting for parts of quilted garments.
The real question is whether I'll change the batting I include in my beginner quilt kits....
Elaine
Answer:
The thinner one does needle a bit easier, but if you can test a sample first, that will tell you which one you prefer. I do like a little more loft, but I like it to be easy to hand-quilt too. Let me know how your machine quilting and those by hand turn out and what you think about them.
