I'm a handquilter and like battings that allow for larger spacing of the quilt lines. Although I like to handquilt, my quilting is not very dense--no stippling. So far, I've heard no mention of the spacing requirements for the wool battings. I assume that it depends on the specific type of wool batting.

Hi Nancy, here's a link to Ali's site where she has the Waddipeadia ( :shock: :wink:
) . http://www.asding.com//index.php?mai...roducts_id=370
That could help a little with the distances.

Thanks, Amanda! That's a great chart. Very helpful! I'm going to study it carefully before I order more batting. I started out using Warm & Natural, but I don't like that for hand quilting. I tried Fairfield's Bamboo, and it's lovely and soft, but it bearded when I hand quilted, so now I'm going to use it when I'm machine quilting. I also want to try other brands of bamboo batting. Just got some Hobbs Heirloom wool, but haven't tried it it. I'm working on some quilt tops now that I'll hand quilt with the wool.
Best, Robin

I'm grateful for this discussion as I am learning battings by trial and error. I did not realise they were so important when I first started quilting and wish now I had not used polyester in one of my quilts. At the moment I am using old woollen blankets hoping I do not live to regret this but they obviously wash well.Comment
