Isn't it odd that after you have purchased a new type of batting something gets posted about it and you don't know what to do because you've had it to long to return. I bought the Quilter's Dream Wool batting a few months ago on sale from Hancock's of Paducah I have the queen size and now I see this thread! I guess I have no recourse but to use it and hope for the best.

Those of you who've used both QD and Hobb's wool, could you comment on any differences you've noticed between the two?

I'm in Maria's quandry-- bought a QD wool batting 2 months ago to hand quilt a quilt that I'm just now ready to baste. I sent an e-mail to QD asking if there was a way to tell if I have one of the poorly bonded batts. I really don't want to order a Hobb's wool batting because I would have to quilt every 2" instead of 8".

I received a prompt reply from Quilter's Dream. The batch in question was manufactured last summer in June and July. The vendor I used has had new shipments since then of the size in question (king size on the roll). They offered to send a new batt even though it was not the size and batch in question. Since I ordered a queen batt from this vendor, I am going to proceed and use the one I ordered. I don't want to hand quilt this bed quilt every 2 inches, which the Hobbs would require. If you have a question, I would suggest you e-mail or call.

I don't want to disparage the reputation of a good company who it appears has gone to great lengths to remedy the situation.

elizajo- Later, after posting this question, I realized I should have communicated with the company instead. I didn't mean to "spook" people or disparage the company in any way, just hoping for information from the group.

Update- Called the company, was able to speak to Jane right away. As stated above, problem has been resolve was confined to one batch. Placed my order from vendor, anxious to get started on my quilt! Thanks to all for your input.

I checked the packaging on my Tuscany Hobbs Wool batting. It says it quilts 3" if that helps someone.

I will never buy that batting again. I used it one time and the bearding was insane. It was bad I was afraid to give the quilt as a gift.

I love Hobbs 80/20 and buy that by the roll

will never use the wool again

I think QD is wonderful to use, but no experience with wool.
