I like to buy W&N by the roll when I have a 50% coupon, or find it on sale for 50%. I buy the 90 inch wide so I can cut and/or piece to exactly what I need.

But I noticed that the store also has almost no sewing related items and even less quilting related stuff.

The Michael's store in my area does not carry any kind of materials. I called once about quilting rulers and was told yes they had them. When I got there the rulers were not for quilters. I go to Hobby Lobby or Joanne's with coupons.

I usually wait until the batting goes on sale for 40-50% off at JoAnn's, and then I would buy 2-4 batts, depending on what I had at home. However, when I was doing a lot more quilting than I am right now, I would buy the "box" of 4 king size, or 6 queen size Warm& Natural batting from Hancock's of Paducah, as it was a lot cheaper and economical.

Boy, you ladies are lucky. I live in Northern Ontario in Canada & it cost $80.00 for a queen size pkg. of Warm & Natural. I only buy it when Fabricland has their 1/2 price sale but that's still $40.00 !! I did finally take the plunge & order some when Connecting Threads had their batting sale & saved a bundle & only $7.99 for shipping (over $50.00) . On sale it was only $14.00 compared to our 1/2 price of $40.00. I'm sure you can guess where I will buy it in the future !!!

I have often looked at their batting by the roll, but I am so confused by the way they sell it. Can you explain to me what a comparable batting would be if I were to buy the 6 ounce, 8 ounce, etc? I would love to buy a roll, it would save me a ton of money in the long run...is there a chart somewhere on line?
