Front Porch Quilting Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Can't say I had real good luck with MM it was very uneven and it bearded through the quilt when I washed it:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaii Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Carol, I recently purchased a roll of Mountain Mist White Rose after doing some research and hearing that others were pleased with the results they were getting from this product. I live in Hawaii, temperatures range between mid-seventies and high eighties with high humidity. I wanted a light cotton batting, with good drapeability. The White Rose is very soft, thin but stable, and drapeable. I used to use Warm and Natural, but it was heavy and stiff compared to MMWR. Quilting definition is okay right after quilting, but has that old-fashioned look with slight shrinking after washing (as with most cotton battings.) I do a lot of comfort "binkies" and I like them floppy and soft to the touch. MMWR works for this type of quilting. Plus the price (with shipping to Hawaii) was reasonable!

Circle Square Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I was buying rolls of MM Eco Craft 50/50. It is 50% cotton and 50% cellulose fiber from corn. It was WONDERFUL! But then I got a roll that was very uneven, rough and terrible. I called the company. They ended up refunding my money because they thought if they sent me another roll, it would be from the same batch. That's been several months and I haven't called again to see if they got the good stuff back. I bought Hobbs 80/20 in the mean time and it is a lot stiffer. When it is gone I'll call MM and see what the story is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandra Darlington Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I haven't tried it, but I am really hooked on Quilter's Dream products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolO Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Yes, I like Quilters Dream too. There is a new batting out called Legacy Permier Quilt Batting. It can be purchased through P & B Textiles. I have ordered samples and hope they arrive today. Will let you know what I think once I have had time to check them out.
