I've used mostly Hobbs 80/20 since I started machine quilting, based on Harriet Hargrave's glowing endorsement. On a recent heavy custom quilted project (my Spirit Song/Sermon Scribbles quilt), I tried Quilter's Dream Cotton Select on the suggestion of a friend who uses that batting extensively in her long arming business. And I was super disappointed after washing it that it obscured the effect of all my painstaking ruler work with the puckering/crinkling. So I'm on the hunt for another batting that would have little or no shrink and look less different after washing, especially for modern projects where the vintage texture vibe is less desirable. I have these negative ideas in my head about polyester that I know come from experiences with cheap department store comforters from the '80s and '90s... What is the hand/drape of that Quilter's Dream Poly Select like when you use it in a quilt, and how does it launder? You said it's "not quite sturdy enough" for your basket, which is what caught my interest because I would have thought that poly would be stiffer, less malleable than natural fibers. Are there other battings you recommend that work well for you? I have an APQS Millennium like yours. Thanks!Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.com
