    I absolutely prefer Quilter's dream in poly. It hand quilts nicely and holds up to many washings. My next choice is Hobbs 80/20. It would be my second choice. Alot of my preference is based on ease of handquilting and price. Watch for sales and you will be able to find bargains. I do not like Mountain Mist and the one with the big bird on the front of the package. Both didn't quilt as nicely.

    I think sometimes people ask for advice/suggestions because they are on limited budgets and don't have the funds to allow for much experimentation - so are trying to get the best they can for the money available for the project.

    So when I hear 'try this, try that' - and I don't have the money to do that - I get frustrated!

    I hear the higher end polyesters don't beard, but like some said try a few, maybe get small craft sizes to use in practic sandwiches, quilt them bind them wash them and see how they look and what you prefer. To me that would be the best way
