Good quality batting, super soft and good durability HOWEVER batting is 88" not 90" AND arrives super wrinkled/creased
This is the first time I've used batting other than Warm & Natural. I usually go through 10-12 40 yard rolls of W&N each year and decided to give this brand a try. I ordered 3 rolls and all 3 rolls were identical.I have two big issues that will likely keep me from purchasing this batting again:1. Batting IS NOT 90" wide. It is 88" wide. All 3 rolls I purchased measured the same. This may not be a big deal for some customers but for my needs I really need the rolls to be the full 90" wide advertised.2. Plastic packaging used to shrink batting down made the rolls have A LOT of creases and wrinkles that didn't release with sitting out. Batting arrives wrapped in two layers of plastic, a lightweight layer followed by a thicker plastic. The plastic squishes the batting down so that it fits in the box, however when removed from packing the batting is a creased mess (see photos). After opening the first box and seeing how the batting was packaged I immediately opened the other two boxes to let the rolls sit out for awhile, hoping that time out of the plastic would help the fabric creases relax. This did help some, but batting was still pretty creased and this created some challenges. It seems like W&N rolls the batting tighter around the cardboard middle tube than this brand does, I've never had an issue with creasing with W&N except sometimes at the very inside of the roll on the part that's been around the middle tube. W&N also doesn't wrap their rolls in plastic either which makes a big difference.POSITIVE NOTES:1. Batting is SUPER soft. In my opinion it is softer than W&N batting. I love the silky soft feel.2. I appreciated that there wasn't paper running the entire length of the roll like there is on W&N rolls. I never have a use for this paper and it just goes to the recycling plant, I like that this company leaves out the paper all together.3. Batting is thinner for W&N batting. Depending on what you're using this batting for this may or may not be a positive for you, but I found I actually liked the feel of my finished products with this thickness of batting better than the W&N batting I've previously used for years.4. Batting holds up well with washing and seems just as durable as W&N.All in all if the batting can be made 90" wide instead of 88" wide and if the company can figure out a different way to package their product that doesn't leave crazy creases and wrinkles I would switch to this brand exclusively. Unfortunately unless these two issues are changed I will be going back to W&N, it's worth it to me to pay more to get the correct width and not have to deal with wrinkles.

Nice batting
I bought the batting for my long arm quilter. I like the batting. I was laughing as the instructions talk about putting the side up that "has the little dots" .... which I found on both sides. I took a guess and judging by the ease that the needle glides through the batting, I must have guessed correctly. It is not quite as wide as I thought and that might be because I failed to note the width when I purchased the batting. I make large king quilts and will not be able to use this batting for those quilts, which is a shame.

A wonderful value for batting! I would purchase again.
While this batting is a little thinner than W&N, it is quite a bit less expensive. If you do want a really puffy quilting effect, doubling it would be fine and still a good value!As for the "fraying" or shedding - I just use a lint roller on my finished project and there's no problem!The batting seems to stitch just fine. I haven't had any problems with the needle going through and for small projects, if there is a crease in the batting (from shipping), I either press it or put it in the dryer with a damp cloth and "air dry" it. Does not seem to shrink appreciably either!

Great product!!!!!!!
I'm more then delighted at the quality of this product. BUT I know it said only $179.00 when I bought it & that's the only reason I bought it. I'd never tried any before and it was far cheaper then JoAnns products. Must have been a typo on the site in the beginning and I never rechecked it b4 I emptied my cart later on. BUT I'm very happy with the purchase this is a real quality batting and easy to use. But I'm going back to using sheets as my filler because people give them away.

It's ok....
I'm a first-time long arm owner and after much internal debate and reading all the reviews I decided to try this batting. I usually use another name brand, but the price was high, so I thought I would try this. It's ok. Maybe a bit better than ok; however, please take to heart everyone's comments about this being a thinner batting. It is. If you are like me and are used to W&N or another name brand batting that is a little thicker, then don't buy this. You won't be happy with this. It's a good quality and it quilts really nice, but it's just too thin for my liking. I've decided to go back to my name brand product for all quilts with a regular cotton backing and save this for quilts that have a flannel back. This is perfect for flannel-backed quilts - just too thin for regular cotton.

Great Batting
I ordered this batting for the first time. It will work great! I like it just was much as Warm and Natural, plus the price was much lower. My only complaint is that it needs to be rolled on the bolt batter. Does have some wrinkles from the packaging. They do come out by brushing your hand over it the batting. Will definitely purchase this again!

It was very good quality.
I am using the batting for quilts and wall panels. What I did not like was the fact the deliver truck driver just left the heavy package at my gate. I live a mile from the gate. The box had a hole in it. If it had rained-the batting would have gotten all wet. If I had not gone out to check the mail, I would have never known the heavy product was there. Anybody could have picked up the package and stolen it.

Good value for the money
Overall this is very nice batting. It is very soft and quilted up nicely on my longarm. The only thing I was disappointed with was how wrinkled it was. Spent time in the dryer with a damp rag to get the wrinkles out. I will purchase again.

Lovely wadding for quilts.
Really pleased with this purchase.Soft, dense wadding, easily as good as far more expensive brands.90” wide (any creases soon disappear with resting) and comes folded on roll so easier to store.Easy to work with, quilts beautifully, no shedding and drapes to give a snuggly finished quilt.
