My LAQ prefers Quilters Dream. I have always used Quilters Dream poly and now, for warmer quilts, they have come out with a Dream Puff (by Quilters Dream) that is supposed to be warmer than down! Am doing my first quilt with Dream Puff to see how I like it.

I love Hobbs Poly down batting. Very nice. I buy it by the roll from Quilted Memories LLC (online). She also had smaller sizes and all are very reasonable. She even mails it and only charges the mailing rate for her shipping.

In fact, allof my family seems to prefer a think warm poly. I would think you should try it. MAke a tv watching lap quilt and see how you like the feel etc.
Am SO with you, poly is very comforting.
Let us know about how yo do.

I use Hobbs 80/20 a lot, soak and dry it first and it's nice and soft. Thermore is nice and thin but it annoys me as it sticks to my fingers. Latest favorite is Quilter's Dream Poly, a bit more expensive but it's so good. May in Jersey
