What exactly do you love about it? Easy to machine quilt? Nice
weight? Nice thickness? Good price? Enquiring minds need to know!

I am also wondering about the bamboo, It seems spendy, the cotton/silk
is not nearly as expensive and sounds dreamy.

Jo, it is definitely a bit more expensive than "regular" cotton batting
show/hide quoted text
at the moment.<G> But I use my coupons at Jo-Ann's and that helps. <G>
It is wonderfully soft and comfy, right out of the bag. Rick was very
show/hide quoted text
surprised because bamboo fibers are not usually that soft feeling. <G>
The loft is low, but "fluffy", if that makes sense. Quilts beautifully
on the machine, haven't yet done any hand quilting on it, bu plan to.

<G> It is naturally antibacterial which is an advantage when using it in
quilts for small kids or those who are not well.
(Quilt wasn't up at the shop on Sat. Need to call and see what is up.
Class is next month so it should be up and signed already. sigh)

Hi! I've used Mountain Mist Touch of Silk (an impulse buy)....I liked
it. It made much lighter, lofty quilt than the 80/20 I'd been using. I
really liked the feel of it, and the way the slight loft showed off
the stitches. It was hand quilted. Havne't washed it yet though. It
wasn't exactly like the "feel" of a polyester quilt. It seemed to have
more...oh gosh, how can I describe it...."sizing" kind of.
