    Default Poly-Fil Batting

    Hello everyone!! I am cleaning my shelf that's above the clothes rod (I'm short-it's not in my reach) in my bedroom closet that holds a variety of things..quilting items, old board games, totes, etc...you get the picture I am sure.
    Anyway...I found 2 packages of crib size Poly-fil batting (one has a H.L. tag) that I must have bought probably 8 years ago. I use cotton batting when I make a quilt now.
    Question: does anyone still use poly-fill batting???
    Thank you for your input!!

    Yes I do especially if I am tieing a quilt. I like the puff the polyester gives between the ties. Some long armies use a poly on top of cotton batt for more quilting definition.

    I use Hobbs Polydown batting a lot. Both by itself and doubled up with 80/20.

    Although I much prefer cotton batting, I buy low loft poly batting, since 99% of my quilts are donated and I simply can't afford to use the cotton.

    I mainly use Hi-loft Polyester batting. Warmth without the weight.

    That is all I use in donation quilts and it works out well for me.

    Sure! Almost all my quilts now-a-days are baby and children's quilts for donations. I use poly batting, usually low loft, but I settle for whatever batting is on sale...

    I have just recently used up the only bag of poly fil batting that I had it worked fine but for the most part I only use polyester batting for wall hangings.
