Prairie Schoolhouses By: Delia Hardcastle, United Arab Emirates Prairie Schoolhouses was my first attempt at foundation paper piecing. I used leftover scraps of material from another project.

my favorite batting is dream select 80/20 and i use it for machine quilting…peg in ks
My favorite batting is Warm and Natural, and I use it for machine quilting.
My favorite batting is Warm and Natural in bamboo – it is amazing and so, so soft!!!
My favorite batting is the one I can get on sale for 50% off! Seriously, I am ashamed to say I don’t buy just one certain brand but do prefer cotton blends for ‘bed’ quilts and fusible for art quilts. I truly do buy what is on sale when I need to get batting. I am lucky that we have quite a few stores that sell battings of several different brands.
My favorite batting is warm and natural, I use it for machine quilting!
I like a 80/20 cotton blend. I use it for machine quilting.
I like to use a cotton batting. I always hand quilt my quilts and I think this makes a very pretty quilt. I don’t have a favorite brand. I would love to win.Thanks so much for the chance.
I always use Warm Blend batting. It provides just the right loft for my needs in all my projects. I do machine quilting.
I use Warm and Natural. I like the feel when it is done. I do machine quilting.
I use warm and natural . I use it for all my quilting projects.
I just use 100% cotton or bamboo, anything natural is what I look for.
No favorite. I let my machine quilters choose for each of my quilts.
My favorite is Fairfield’s Bamboo batting. I love the feel, the ease to work with and the drape of the quilt.
My favorite betting is Warm and Natural, not that I’ve tried too many battings. Once I used this I was happy and haven’t used anything else.
I use cotton batting – usually warm and natural because that’s what my guild sell and they get it for a quantity discount. I only machine quilt (I’m sure I’d never finish anything if I tried to hand quilt!). I have used polyester for a bit more puff on wall hangings – but I don’t use it on things that will get washed because I’ve had bearding issues.
Warn and Natural or Warm and White, use it for all my quilts.
I love Quilters Dream, but have a hard time finding it! I usually use Warm and Natural, as it’s easy to find.
Depends of the project. I like Warm & Natural and Pellon 80/20
I love Warm and Natural for most things but Bamboo drapes beautifully for others.
I use Warm & Natural for all my quilts. I love how it washes up after I machine quilt.
I mostly machine quilt and mainly use Hobbs 80/20. I am hand quilting a large quilt using 100% wool and it is so easy to stitch. Have yet to try a wool batt with the machine.
I have only used batting once, and it’s Hobbs 80/20. It was great. I am in the process of learning to quilt a 1600 batik quilt. First one I have ever sewn, sandwiched, and fixin’ to quilt.
I use Hobbs 80/20 fusible batting. It works for me. Thanks.
I like to use Warm and Natural for machine quilting.
I really like Quilters Dream – both the poly and the cotton. I can get just the weight I want. pretty close to perfect.
I live in the Middle East so batting is unbranded and you have to go searching for it and buy lots when you find it. I’ve got a compressed type of 100% cotton used by the curtain shop for padding the valance over curtains. Once I found 100% cotton that I save and use for my favourite quilts. At a craft shop I can usually fine the non-cotton batting which makes a quilt dry well and feel cuddly.
I use Warm and Natural for machine quilting.
I use Warm and Natural or Warm and White. First choice, always. Occasionally I use Quilters Dream Select 80/20.
Warm & natural is all i have used so far.
I use Warm & Natural or Warm & White. I’ve only machine quilted.
I use any polyester batting. Because that’s what my Memaw always used. And I only hand quilt.
Warm and natural is my favorite
I use Quilters Dream for machine quilting.
I’m a Warm & Natural fan, whether I’m hand or machine quilting. I just love that stuff! It’s thin and drapes nicely and it feels good when I touch it. :)
I have been using Warm and Natural Natural or Warm and White, but I am starting to explore others. I used a bamboo batting on one of my most recent quilts. I do machine quilting.
I use whatever I can afford. Since I’m not working now, I use what is the cheapest.
I usually use what is available, but I really like Dream Select 80/20 best, it’s horribly dusty when quilting, but the results are fabulous.
I machine quilt, I don’t particularly like hand quilting.
Thanks for the chance!
What ever I can get my hands on! I’m still learning, so I prefer very simple machine quilting.
Warm and natural is my go to choice. Love it!
My favorite is warm and natural. I like handquilting, just now I am quilting on a small machine and it is a struggle ;-)
I recently tried quilter’s dream brand for the first time, loving it. I machine quilt on my domestic sewing machine.
My gosh, it was hard to choose just four!!! They are all beautiful, and there were so many that were just outstanding & magnificent!
My fave batting is Warm & Natural, but I scored a really good deal on Hobbs 80/20, so I can’t wait to bust that puppy open and use it too. My long-armer used that in my first quilt, and I love it, so I’m sure I’ll be pleased with my next one too!
I love the “Dream” batting. And have also just started using “Legacy”. Doesn’t give that crease when the quilt is folded up. Both are very nice to me.
I really like Hobbs 80/20 for larger quilts with a lot of detail, it drapes really well and isn’t too heavy.
I mostly use Warm and White for my machine quilted quilts.
I use quite a lot of Dream Puff or other synthetics – and I usually end up hand quilting because I’m scared of ruining my lovely patchwork by squidging it through the machine! (I’m lazy – I never tack the layers together, just use lots of pins!)
I don’t have a favorite brand. I generally use what I can get on sale. I like fleece and cotton the best.
Mountain Mist Cream Rose has become my go-to batting for bed quilts. I love the soft hand and crinkly texture it gives my quilts.
I prefer bamboo batting because it is lightweight, needles well and drapes beautifully.
I like Quilters Dream, but I do use Warm & Natural too. It depends on the quilt!
