    browse ' BattMart.com' which is a large supplier of bulk battings- they carry the Dream battings along with many others. back in the 70's my mom always bought buffalo batts and they carry those products too- lots to choose from and good prices. I've been very happy with them.

    overstock.com also has batting. I bought some wool batting, free shipping - I think it was a good price...25.00 for a queen size. I have taken a few FMQ'ing classes and they say to use W&N and then a thin layer of wool batting on top. Can't wait to give it a try.

    For wall hangings won't you want a stiffer batting? I'm thinking that warm and natural is better for wall hangings.

    Thanks for input on different brands of batting. I am questioning whether the 80/20 will be 'stiff' enough for wall hanging... aka small quilts. I have done previous small quilts and NOT been pleased with how they hang... so perhaps I do need something heavier like W&N?..... would love further opinions! I am still learning all the ins and outs of quilting!

    Thank you!
