That's good to hear. I buy the Hobbs Polydown at Fabricd Warehouse which is located near me. They also carry the Hoobs 100% cotton and the HObbs Wool but the do not carry the Hobbs 80/20. No other stores near me carry the Hobbs batting. I see Connecting Threads also carries it and they have batting sales once in a while so that can also be a source for me. I am very anxious to sew together a quick quilt top after Xmas and try this 80/20 batting. I work full time and I do longarm quilting for customers --which makes it an accomlplishment for me to get a quilt top sewed together!!

I only use Hobbs 80/20. It seems lighter in weight than others but is still toasty warm. It does shrink when washed due to 80% cotton to give it a "crinkly" look but the poly in it lets it keep its shape. It it easy to sew though. Hobby Lobby carries it both in store and on.-line. Price is reasonable with 40% coupon. Some times HL has free shipping as does Connecting thread with $50 purchase. Try it you'll like it!!!!! It is always nice to have many choices so make samples with quilting of all battings you could use so customer could see the difference.
