Batting- packaged or rolled?
#13
I get w&n and I pike it on the roll I will buy like 5-10 yards at a time and have them roll it on a tube for me. Much easier to deal with and with less waste. I have only gotten bamboo in a package but that was because I haven't. Found it local untill this last quilts.

Off the roll you can buy only what you need and thus control the cost. It does not have the folds you discussed. I use warm and natural or warm and white from the bolt and really like it. You can find this on sale many times.

I online ordered mine on a roll. It is stored under my bed in 2 very large plastic bags to prevent dust getting on it. It is super wide.
Got it through Cranberry Quiltworks. The deliver out here from California, so I can get it with no tax or s&h.
BTW. I'm still on my first really big roll. When i do charity quilts we are given poly batting, so I use what is given.

Batting is expensive no matter what kind you buy or where you purchase it. I buy it by the roll because it is cheaper and I can cut exactly what I need. Every year in January my local LQS has a batting sale and brings up a load from Waco Texas to Canada. They take pre-orders and sell it at 40% off the regular price. Many quilters split a roll (30 yards) with a quilting buddy. I always buy a roll of Polydown (my favourite for kid's and frequently washed quilts) and a roll of W&N if I need it. I may order 80/20 or Quilter's Dream this year as many of you seem to like it.
