I'm not sure what you bought , but a friend and fellow quilted showed me some thin poly batting at JoAnn's, and said she reached liked it. Said its very light and very warm. Maybe its the same stuff.

I use Warm & Natural all the time--I love it. I usually buy 20 yards or more that are 90 inches wide. It lasts me a long time and I use a coupon at JA so I only pay for 10 yards. I usually need 2 yds for a quilt. If I make a quilt with a lot of white I would use Warm & White, but I don't use a lot of white.

I bought a roll of this stuff:

It's the same dimension roll as you quoted and was the same price, but don't know if it's the same stuff. Needs to be quilted 4" apart. It is thin, but the thickness is consistent and I rather like it. It quilts easily, the amount loft shows the quilting and drapes well. I used a single layer. Wouldn't use it on an heirloom quilt, but for kid's draggers or home dec (runners, toppers etc.) it works well. I would make up a practice sandwich, quilt it, and see if you have a change of heart before you discard it all together.

I would also try and return it. Maybe you could take it to a local Joanns and make an exchange?

This is the batting that I bought, I am always looking for a bargain but I think this time I didn't get one. I don't have the receipt as I bought it back in Dec, so I will just have to use it..most of the quilts I make are ones that I give away, but still want them to look good, I'll try and see how two layers will look, Thanks everyone , but don't buy this batting even tho it looks like a good deal..

Same here, after quilting I didn't notice a difference. My quilts are made with love and are loved. That is good enough for me.
