    Warm and White is all I use. I do lots of children's and charity lap quilts, so I buy the 45 inch width by the bolt.

    I've been using Hobbs 80/20, and I like it for machine quilting.
    I also prefer Hobbs, but have some W&N that was given to me. From my point of view, W&N is thinner, firmer and doesn't drape as softly as Hobbs 80/20.

    I do think it's great for wall-hangings, place mats, table runners, etc., but do not prefer it for quilts. Also, it's hard to get perfect tension on the longarm with this batting - it can be done, but not as easily as with some other thicker battings.

    I know many people like it. You might buy a small package and give it try in a lap quilt before investing in a whole roll. (This is how I ended up with my roll. My friend purchased it and didn't care for it, so gave it to me to use in my wall hangings, etc. She only does bed quilts.)

    Just my thoughts....

    I started with some of the others but when W&N came out, I tried it. Here in Florida, I prefer a softer flatter quilt because it doesn't get as cold. I love it and it's all I use.

    I do not like the warm and natural for hand quilting. It was a pain.
