    Polyester batting

    I am going to make a king-size quilt for our bed. I don't want it to shrink when I wash it so I'm thinking about using Quilter's Dream Poly Select for the batting. It looks and feels just like Warm & Natural, which is what I always use. Has anybody tried the Quilter's Dream batting? I sure don't want to get this quilt all made up only to be disappointed in the batting. Any advice/help appreciated! Thanks. ~Sue

    QD batting is a terrific product...well made and consistent. I Use poly batting in my personal bed quilts
    for warmth with lightness and it shows the quilting nicely because of the loft....even in thinner ones.
    Some exceptions are....;desire for "all Cotton", Old- fashioned look, reproductions......

      Do you use Request or Select? I have little samples and they seem to be very similar. And I can't tell which is which in my sample! ~Sue

        Request is the thinnest...then Select...and on up from there....they have a web site...check there for
        more details.

          Yeah, I've been to their website. I just wondered which one you use/prefer. There doesn't seem to be much difference when I feel my little samples. ~Sue

            Select for bed quilts unless you really want it "fatter". I use request in Mini quilts, decor, and as a
            stablizer for embroidered projects. I'm learning to love wool for beds these days !

              Nope, don't want it fatter! The website said Select was their most popular. So I guess that's the winner for me. Thanks so much, Marilyn! I feel a whole lot better going into this now. ~Sue

                    I'm just finishing a lap quilt withQD request poly for my niece so she can wash and dry it easily. I'm really pleased with the way it quilts and feels. I'm sure you'll not be disappointed with it.
