Have any of you wonderful people tried the new batting (Dream Green?) which is made for recycled plastic bottles.
Interested in feedback.

Thank you ahead of time. :thumbup:

I've never heard about that... but it sounds interesting! I would also appreciate every answer.

My concern about this batting is putting it in the dryer... they say the plastic bottles should not be heated... I would think the same chemicals would be released in the dryer :wink:

From what I read at the site, it's been melted down and reprocessed, so I'm wondering if that process removes that concern. It might be a good question to address to the company. Hopefully they would have thought of that concern and eliminated it...but these days, one just can't take it for granted! Thanks for the input.. will be interested in more of the same.

Is it from the same company that makes dream puff batting?

Momsmurf

Same company, different product.

Interesting subject. I personally like Warm & Natural for my quilts. That way they can actually be used for warmth. Not sure if recycled plastic would provide any warmth. Suppose it can be used for wall hangings, though. Hmmmmm . . . ?

Marks and Spencer sell clothing for children as well as adults made out of plastic bottles, they are wonderfully soft and are machine washable so Icannot see why batting shouldn't be washable too. It has been on sale over here for a long time though I have not used it yet. Apparently it is good for hand quilting as well as machine.

I haven't heard of this batting.

Is it similar to micro fiber? A new oddity for me, again. I live in confusion.
