I have used a lot of the cotton/wool batting and I really like it. it
is easy to machine quilt. I don't hand quilt so I don't know how it is
for that. It is a little heavier than the all cotton stuff so it is
great for quilts intended for colder climates. it might be to warm for
Arizona quilts.

Thanks John, I don't hand quilt either but I just bought it and
wondered if anyone had any experience with this brand, although an old
name you never know...
I will let you know after I try it..I am enamored with the silk
aspect of the batting! sound luxurious, boy did I get pulled in or
what?

I'm sure I've used MM but the poly only. I'm allergic to wool and cotton
clumps. I wont use cotton batting.

I've used the wool and love it. So warm and cozy. Just now, I bought a
cotton/bamboo batting. It's going into two baby quilts I have to make
next week. (why oh why do I wait until the week before the shower to
start sewing??) I'll let you guys know about the bamboo batting. I
have a friend who always uses silk batting. She only sews silk quilts.
Yes, I know.........
But she says they're wonderful, if a bit slippery. I'm thinking I
would use a touch of basting spray, just to keep things from slipping
around too much.
