Which is best for hand quilting?

I will follow this thread!

I've never used wool batting but I do love the 80/20. The needle just glides like buttah.

do you hand quilt?

teddysmom

Yes, but I'm new at it. Am trying to find the best batting to use. I've done the warm and natural but it seems a bit thick for hand quilting.

Hand quilters like either one of these. I would stick with Hobbs 80/20 just because I am allergic to wool (as are many others in my family). I might consider using wool for a wallhanging.

I learned on Hobbs 80/20 12 yr ago to hand quilt and still use it a lot. Did a wool for my dd who lives in a cold climate. Am doing a bamboo queen size now and love it. But, for the price I will probably go back to what I used before. Also like Quilters Dream for baby quilts.

I have only used the 80/20. My first quilt was the Fairfield brand, I wasn't too happy with it, it was very uneven, thick spots and thin spots. Since then I have switched to Hobbs and I like it a lot. I want to try some others, though, to have something to compare it to.
