where do you ladies all purchase your batting? It can get expensive and I am thinking there has got to be a better place then where I am getting it now

If I want Hobbs, I wait for a sale at Connecting Threads. They'll occasionally have a 30% off sale on batting, and I stock up then. I haven't settled on a source yet for Quilter's Dream.

If I want a product from the Warm company, I just wait until JoAnn's online has it half off & free shipping. Usually this happens at least once a year.
I know there's also an online source, batt-mart that just carries batting that is supposed to be good.

I've saved the link but haven't purchased yet.

I look for sales online , in shops, and at shows. Some of the best bargains I got were at shows.

I buy the Warm & Plush batting on a roll from Joann.com when I have a 50-60% off coupon (all packaged batting is on sale this week at JAF).

I use to get a half roll of Hobbs at JAF but they discontinued carrying Hobbs again. Using some of my old Hobbs in packages.

Connecting Threads often has great batting sales and free shipping at $50.

I use Joann's 50% off sale for some of my personal batting. For charity batting (90% of my quilting is for the Bible camp quilt auction or for Project Linus) I buy Hobbs 80/20 from them directly using their charity batting program (no 501c3 documentation needed). I also occasionally find wonderful deals on packaged batting at garage and estate sales. Most recently I found Thermore and Hobbs wool.

I order by the roll from Heartbeat Quilting and LEQ. My most recent roll is Hobbs Tuscany 80% Cotton/20% wool and honestly, I doubt I'll ever use another batting again. Practically no pilling, very little shrinkage and hand is unlike any other I've tried. I'm extremely pleased with it.
