Quilter's Dream Batting

11 years ago

I went to the LQS to look for batting, didn't want to spend gas to go 20 miles to Joann's. I'm sure what I bought was more expensive, but I bought the Quilter's Dream cotton/poly blend. Well, when I took that out of the package I was amazed at the obvious quality as opposed to what I've bought previously. It was even, no wrinkles, and handled beautifully making the quilt sandwich. I haven't started quilting on it yet, I'm still trying to decide on the quilting pattern to use on this bordered diamonds quilt, but it's ready to go. I don't often tout a certain product but so far I am very impressed.

I started using it about a year ago and for most projects won't go back to Warm & Natural. I really like using the QD and I think you'll like quilting on it. The quilt pattern shows up beautifully!

I like QDream batting. I have also used a small amt of the wool. I have a large King size almost ready to quilt using the wool QD. The wool feels heavenly.

I love Quilter's Dream, but unfortunately it is not sold at Hobby Lobby where I can get Warm/White & Natural.

BTW, has anyone tried the bamboo batting? Opinions? Sorry if this question has already been answered.

I'm a huge fan of Quilter's Dream batting - the blend, the Dream Puff poly, and the 100% cotton. I have not tried the bamboo or the wool from them yet.

They all handle so much better than Warm and Natural!

QD is like laying out a thin blanket, and it doesn't tear when handling.

My LQS does carry a limited number of sizes, but I generally order them from Hancock's of Paducah.

Theresa, I am about finished hand-quilting a queen size, using bamboo batting. I love the way it needled, quite easy, but the quilt has the 'feel' and heft of a light-weight 100% cotton. I'd use it again. Caveat is I haven't washed it yet. I bought a bamboo knit sweater a couple years ago, and it was so soft to the touch, loved it until I washed it a few times, and it would have fit dumbo the elephant..........just kept stretching in all directions. I suppose there is no way a quilt batting will stretch, but it makes me want to wait to see what DOES happen to it after the first laundering. LOL.

I like QD and use it often. The star quilt I made for ME I used QD wool and hand quilted it. It was wonderful to quilt through. I also used QD supreme on SBQ which I hand quilted. That worked well also. I have always used Hobbs until a little while ago when I started having issues with the way they roll it too tight and it didn't lay well. I also used Jo-annes 80-20 for some of the sm. quilts I am making and eventhough it isn't the quality that QD is I find it acceptable for machine quilting and is less expensive with the coupons.

Good information to know...I've not seen it at our local quilt shop, do you order QD mostly on-line?

I have used Bamboo batting a few times and love it. It needles (hand or machine) beautifully and I love the drape. The first time I used it was for a comfort quilt for my B-I-L when he had cancer. It was washed often and looks great.
