BATTING
#31
Check your local quilt shop. If that doesn't work, shoot me a PM with the size you need and I'll see if I can't get it to you at a reasonable price.
I have a quilting business - my source is a wholesaler.

Hi Al
May I put my two cents worth into this discussion please?
One of the tutors that came to our quilting group to tutor a quilt said that Bamboo batting is great to work with BUT do not use on childrens quilts or for people that smoke. The batting is highly flammable! I have not seen any warning on the wrapping or anything but does anyone on the forum know if this is correct?
Take care

The only batting they sell here in Argentina is the woven polyester. I really do not like it, have only used it once. You can not hand quilt with it either, it just does not look right. So as a subsitute I have been using polar fleece. I like it because it is not too heavy in weight but it is warm and you can hand or machine quilt with it.

I use Hobbs Heirloom Wool for just about everything. It machines excellently, has great drape, and is, as Shelly advises, cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It has the loft of some poly blends but none of the hassles. I won't quilt something for someone else if they want poly batting, life is too short, to have to fight that stuff.
I purchase batting by the roll. It seems like a lot to purchase but it doesn't go bad and you get great prices.
