what's a good price?

I've never bought or priced batting on a bolt before. I like Quilter's
Dream, or something similar, that's enjoyable for hand-quilting. What does
something like that cost? At least if you can get me in the ball park I
won't get snookered.

My only experience with this (so far) was purchasing a bolt of Warm &
Natural from Joann's during a 50% off sale. That was a 40 yard roll at
$5.00 a yard (reg. price $9.99). I hope others can give you better
guidance :-)

I buy the same thing as Rita- W&N at 50% off from Joann. Here's a pic
of the nifty way my hubby made a hanger for my bolt. He used closet
rod supports and a metal rod thru the bolt. I'm thinking the bolts
are sometimes 30 yards, as I recall paying $180 for the bolt and a few
spools of thread??? It's been about 2 years and I'm still working on
the same bolt.... but then I haven't been too productive.... but now
that I've learned FMing..... WATCH OUT!!! LOL

Karen, I suspect to get your hands on Quilters Dream Cotton on a roll,
you would probably have to have a business liscense. And it is really
pricey, and keep in mind shipping on a roll of batt isn't cheap.
That's why you usually don't see batting on a roll very often. And
Leslie & Rita are right, depending on the width there is anywhere from
30-45 yards on a roll of batt. I haven't hand quilted in quite some
time due to hands not loving it, but you might check with the guys at
kingsmen quilting supply and see what they sell on a roll.
http://www.kmquiltingsupply.com/ They don't have a minimum so you
won't be forced to buy multiple rolls and they are closer to you so
your shipping would be reasonable. I don't know what they require a
liscense for and what they don't. I know for some things they do.

Think I paid about $160 with postage for 30 yds of Hobbs unbonded bleached
100% cotton, queen size. Have only machine quilted it. But the 80-20 bonded
version was perfectly fine to hand quilt.
I looove having a Whole Bolt!

You can buy Quilter's Dream by the bolt he

I was hoping Hancock's of Paducah would have something and I could have
Cindy snag it for me while she's down there. Does anybody know?

Ok... the first messge froze, so my apologies if it shows up twice.
The prices listed at the batt-mart link Paegan2 posted are really
good. Keep in mind they would add shipping on to that so tack on $25+
for each roll to guesstimate what you think a really good price is.
If you don't score, keep the kingsmen place in mind.... my memory
isn't what it used to be, but I think that's pretty close to you.

Everything on the Hancock's website and in their catalog and more is
available in the Paducah store. I'm not going to search for you-
their website drives me bananas! VBG Hope you can find it there....

I called Hancock's of Paducah for you and they only carry it in sizes like
King, Queen, etc.

But I have a call in to a shop in Illinois that carries Quilter's Dream and
they are checking with the manufacturer and will call me back with a quote
on what a bolt of Quilter's Dream would cost. I will let you know when they
call me back. Maybe you and Cindy can make a road trip to pick it up?

Love in Stitches,
