Today I am teaching a little portion at the Long Arm QT's quild about batting so I thought I'd share with you. My favorite batting to quilt with is: Quilters Dream Blend for Machines 70/30 is soft to hug, yet takes the tug! It is made of 70% cleaned natural cotton and 30% fine denier polyester blended in perfect harmony and needlepunched onto an ultralight scrim base. When I started longarm quiting many people suggested using Hobbs 80/20, I used it for a while but was never 100% satisfied with the finish. So after searching I found Qulters Dream. I love it!
My second favorite batting to use is: Dream Green is an Earth-friendly batting that is TRULY Green. This soft, cozy batting is made completely from recycled plastic bottles - even the packaging is made from recycled products! Available in the select loft, this batting has a light green color. With no scrim or resins, Dream Green meets our highest standards of quality, function and performance. I love that this batting so environmentally friendly. The average batt that I use saves about 7 plastic bottles from going into landfills. So amazing!
