Does anyone have experience using siliconized polyester batting? I saw it this week at JoAnn's. It was in a 20 yard roll and I love the convenience of that. It feels that it might be a little thicker than light polyester? Doing a web search, it sounds like it is less likely to cause allergies and doesn't attract dust mites and such. Haven't heard of it until now.

Got this explanation from a Google search: Filling, or batting, is a thick, often rigid material used to stuff toys, quilts, clothing and other crafts. It is made from a wide variety of materials, including cotton, rayon and polyester. Polyester filling is made from synthetic fibers, unlike cotton filling. Siliconized polyester filling is a recently developed material that helps aid in preventing allergens, bacteria and dust from attaching to the filling.

Hmm. I'm beginning to think this is a fairly new product as there isn't anyone responding as to what their experience with this sort of batting for a quilt. I usually use polyester batts. I prefer a "puffy" quilt rather than flat such as cotton or 80/20 gives.
