    I have only used high loft batting in tied quilts. I have found that high loft makes small quilts less "drapey" so they don't wrap around little ones so well. Hope you find a method that works for you.

    I am glad to see a quilt with high loft batting, as I have been wanting to do this. Beautiful quilt, by the way!!

    I gave up on high loft batting. Couldn't hand quilt it, and it wasn't any easier to machine quilt it. I've really grown fond of thinner, cotton batting. I usually use Warm and Natural nowdays. I like it so much better.

    I use high loft batting on most of my quilts and hand quilt most of them. Never had any particular problems with the quilting. I like the extra puffiness and warmth of the high loft. I do notice a big difference in the ease of quilting on the tighter woven material.

    I have best results with low loft batting when FMQ, I also like warm and natural and just used thermolam in my rag quilt. When I hand quilted I used warm and natural.
