    Default Batting by the roll

    Hi Everyone,
    I recently saw a post that contained names of online retailers that sold batting by the roll but have been unable to find it with the search function.
    Could anyone please provide a source or two?
    TIA,
    Yiaya

    I like these 3 online stores for batting by the roll...I watch for sales

    all have a good variety to choose from

    batting supersale has prices that include shipping. the other 2 add shipping charges to the price you see.

    You can sometimes find good online prices for batting rolls on Amazon, and even Walmart. And of course there's always JAF. I've also bought rolls at good prices on the last day of a quilt show, when the vendors don't want to take it back home with them.

    The hardest part for me about ordering batting on the roll is deciding which one to purchase. I eventually decided on Warm and White. I go thru Walmart.com on JoAnn's usually. It's worth price checking for a while before purchasing. For me, Free Shipping is a must.

    Most of the LA in my area buy the 80/20 from Marshall's Dry Goods. Call and ask for a sample of their brand of batting. If you ever get to go to Marshall's you will meet the friendliest and most fun people especially Mr. Marshall. He is one of a kind.

    I really like Marshall's too, but they don't have much to choose from when it comes to batting. I would buy the black batting from them, but don't use enough of it to buy a whole roll.
    I like experimenting with wool, bamboo and silk battings. Well I buy boards and rolls of bamboo/cotton and wool/cotton blends a lot. Silk...only in small packages by Tuscany.

    I would enjoy a trip to Marshall's! But it would probably get very expensive

    I stumbled upon a roll of pellon cotton a long time
    ago in a Tuesday Morning. (Now closed) but I like it and get it by the roll on Walmart. Com and it
    comes to my door. For me it performs as well as warm and natural and less expensive.

    I always do a search for "cotton batting on sale" (or wool, depending on what I'm looking for) - and then spend some time comparing. Sometimes, it actually ends up being less expensive by the package than by the roll. Sometimes it's a quilt/craft store (like Connecting Threads or Hancocks of Paducah), sometimes it's Amazon or WalMart.

    Two years ago I got half size rolls of Pellon from WalMart. It was such a good deal that I ordered multiples, even though I'd never used it before. I agree with Stitchnripper, it's pretty much the same as W&N.

    Love, love, love buying batting by the roll. I purchase from JoAnn's out of habit and because they always have a sale and deliver quickly with out any special delivery fee. I started when COVID prevented shopping in stores. W&N and often delivered in 3 days. Of course it is a big investment initially but it is cheaper in the long run. I especially like that all my scraps are the same batting and easy to frank-n-bat AKA piece together for another good usable batting
