I have used the bamboo batting and had no problems with it at all. :roll:

That is what all my friends who have tried it say. They hate how it beards up, especially when hand quilting. I know it is environmentally friendly (only takes 8 weeks to regrow harvested bamboo) but I think I'll wait until they work out the bearding problems before wasting my money on it.

Those who say it works for them, did you hand or machine quilt with the bamboo batting?
