Bamboo Batting - Soy Batting - pros and cons please

Hi all,

I would like to know what the pros and cons of bamboo and soy batting are.
Has anyone used it, washed it, does it match say the cotton or wool batting
for quilts?
Does it shed through the material or not?
How does it wash, sew, quilt etc please?

Thanks

I have samples of each type which I have yet to try - by feel, the soy
has the slight edge on softness. Both resemble the look of
lightweight cotton needlepunched batting. jennellh

Working on a second baby quilt with bamboo right now. Got it at 50% off
at JoAnns a few months ago. Love the feel, easy to work with, does
leave lint on the darker colors. The mother who has the first one (I
never met the mom, her mom is a good friend of mine) told her mother
that the quilt feels softer and the baby seems to like it more than
other quilts she has received. I personally have not washed it yet, so
don't know any more than that.

I have used the bamboo batting, and some of the PLA batting, but not the
soy. GThe ones I have used are great to work with, but haven't yet
washed a quilt with them.... I think. Will have to double check later. I
will be washing one after the class in early Dec. VBG
The bamboo is wonderfully soft, and naturally anti-bacterial.
Didn't notice any bearding as I quilted.

I've just got a bamboo one and will report when I start using it later in
the week.......it feels good--has a scrim on it......feels a lot like warm
and natural.

Thank you Debbie, Pati and Lenore,
I really appreciate your comments. I have yet to touch the bamboo batting
but am looking forward to it so much.
