I have used a lot of the cotton/wool batting and I really like it. it
is easy to machine quilt. I don't hand quilt so I don't know how it is
for that. It is a little heavier than the all cotton stuff so it is
great for quilts intended for colder climates. it might be to warm for
Arizona quilts.

I'm sure I've used MM but the poly only. I'm allergic to wool and cotton
clumps. I wont use cotton batting.

Thanks John, I don't hand quilt either but I just bought it and
wondered if anyone had any experience with this brand, although an old
name you never know...
I will let you know after I try it..I am enamored with the silk
aspect of the batting! sound luxurious, boy did I get pulled in or
what?

I've used the wool and love it. So warm and cozy. Just now, I bought a
cotton/bamboo batting. It's going into two baby quilts I have to make
next week. (why oh why do I wait until the week before the shower to
start sewing??) I'll let you guys know about the bamboo batting. I
have a friend who always uses silk batting. She only sews silk quilts.
Yes, I know.........
But she says they're wonderful, if a bit slippery. I'm thinking I
would use a touch of basting spray, just to keep things from slipping
around too much.

I'll let you know. I just ordered some!! lol

I love the bamboo batting. I have used it in one quilt, which is at the
shop (class sample) If I remember to take my camera on Sat. I will try
to take pictures of some of the classroom if any one would like. G

I have heard good things about that bamboo batting. There was an
article in one of the quilting mags saying it was the cat's whiskers.
I don't know any place locally that sells it so I might have to order
it online and see what all the fuss is about.

JoAnn's carries the bamboo batting. It is actually a bamboo/cotton blend
and is naturally antibacterial. G
