Can't expect it to go quickly unless you put it on the machine, right? I'm teasing. I'm usually the one who wants to sew quickly, remember? You're the one who likes to sew slowly!<br /><br />That recycled batt is interesting. I use cotton because I buy it cheaper by the bolt (roll) for the long-arm and I'm allergic to wool. Have a great week of quilting!Mary Marcottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569619947909529203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-34802555278249077972015-03-09T07:03:59.493+00:002015-03-09T07:03:59.493+00:00Interesting batt.

It's always good to see the Little Elephant!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-30308067383110733822015-03-08T22:36:46.865+00:002015-03-08T22:36:46.865+00:00Always wonderful to see your stitching!

It wil...sorry to say the poly is what is migrating. It will continue. That's why I changed to mostly cotton myself. Don't pull it as it never really stops holding hands with it's mates and makes a long tuft that breaks of then you pull that bit and and and. <br />I have been using hobbs 80cotton 20 poly to give it some loft. It doesn't seem to beard. Oh it occurred to me you're hand quilting. Silk or wool is easiest. Poly is easy but beards. What's the answer?? Have you tried bamboo? It shrinks a lot tho. <br /><br />So funny our discussions of batt. My grandmother put in old quilts, raw cotton, or old wool blankets and hand quilted all of it! That was a woman who made do. <br />LeeAnnaLA Paylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06553491768819243802noreply@blogger.com
