Thanks. It was in a quilt book that listed all kinds of batting that I saw the notation. Do other quilters order their batting from specialty sites rather than using the generic stuff a fabric store would carry? I am batting-knowledge-ignorant.

I made the mistake once of leaving batting out overnight to relax the creases. It was so full of cat fur (hmm...wonder how that happened? No one knew a thing!) by morning that I had to throw it away and use another. Now I just toss in the dryer w/ a damp washcloth for a few minutes. Between that and being careful when smoothing out when I spray baste, I haven't had any more problems.
