I like Hobbs, 20/80 and have had no issues. I have made 3 king-sized quilts using Hobbs and no complaints.

I really like Hobbs Polydown batting and use it for all my user friendly quilts that will be washed often. The batting is uniform, quilts easily, washes and wears extremely well. The quilt police may snicker about it but it is just plain good batting and is 108" wide which means I don't have to piece it unless the quilt is a monster.

Still considering myself a newbie, but I've come to like Hobbs Bleached 100% cotton rather than the Warm & Natural/White from JoAnn's. It's a little lighter weight for our southern climate and I think a softer drape, too. Connecting Threads only has Hobbs unbleached so I wait til Hancock's has a free shipping offer or sale and get several batts of the bleached.

Maybe I'm missing the boat....so many folks are using Hobbs 80/20. What is the advantage of using that over all cotton?

thank you all.... there is nothing like "testimonials" to be sure your not going to get stung!!! I don't mind spending my money... i just like to be sure before i spend!!! LOL... and YES,,, around here JoAnn's is about the only place, and it's such a PITA.... service stinks.. and it just seems to be the same old, same old.. me being a bargain shopper... it's just not fun.. so i only by from a discount place nearer Boston,,,, (truth, be told.. i should only need "solids"... cause i've got so many prints from collecting over the years.. soooooooooothank you all... i'm off to work on the "Mickey Quilt"... hehehe
