Wool Batting Question!
Ok, I remember seeing wool batting being talked about, and recently had a
couple of good websites that people had bought wool batting from before...but I can't find them! Help! Does wool batting beard? Should it be finished with cheesecloth or something? Any tips, hints or suggestions for us? (Asking for a friend!) -- Dannielle |

Does wool batting beard? Should it be finished with cheesecloth or something? Any tips, hints or suggestions for us? Probably depends on the brand. I've switched to Hobbs Wool for all my personal quilts. No bearding problems, does not need cheesecloth or any other device to hold it together. It's washable, and a joy to work with. And when quilts are folded for long periods, it springs right back (which is why I switched to Hobbs Wool) I can't really recommend a place to buy it, as I buy bolts from my wholesaler, but a quick Google search for "Hobbs Wool" will give you lots of choices. -- Kathy A.

I haven't used it, but a friend loves Matilda's Wool Batting for hand
quilting. She washes the quilt in the machine with Orvis and has had no problems. Hancock's in Paducah has had good prices on it. -- BarbQuilts Take the Cat out to reply "Dannielle" wrote in message ...

I USED to use the Matilda's Own Wool Batting, I say used to as I have discovered that the Matilda's Own 100% COTTON Batting is far superior to the wool.. Softer, no creases, easier to use etc. My Quilts now have that feel to them that they never had before, and finish SO much better.

I only use the hobbs wool, no bearding and it is washable in the
finished quilt. My quilts made with it are light and fluffy and holding up well.

Light and fluffy and wonderful to sleep under. Plus, if you sleep under one
of Christina's quilts, you get lots of hugs and kisses from the children. A definite bonus. :-) -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply "NoMoreSpam" wrote in message ...

Hobbs Heirloom Wool, ordered from Hancock's of Paducah when on sale. I
have used it exclusively for about two years and I love it for everything. It is soft and smooth and the needle drifts through it without pressure or pain. It washes well, it drapes beautifully, and I doubt that I will ever go back to anything else. I am a hand quilter. RedQueen |
