Do you ever split a fat batting?

I agree with all of the above. I can't help but wonder, tho, if the batting was folded when you used it. I made this mistake (at least) once. It can be difficult to tell! (Sometimes I feel like I'm peeling apart something I shouldn't.)
Some people - including my husband - hugely prefer a lofty quilt! (In fact, he's rejected my homemade quilts using flat batting in favor of a store-bought quilt for exactly this reason.)

Like you, I made this mistake, I hated the poly, my Juki wasn't overly keen on it either. The roll has been consigned to Attic, will be used for something(not sure what) back to 80/20 for me.

A guild member buys and splits her high loft batting because she's cheap. She gets two battings for the price of one. It's not worth the time or effort and rarely does it split evenly. Her quilts are floppy looking with the thin uneven batting.
