Batting.......BULK!

My batting comes from

They carry lots of brands and sizes. Apparently, they don't actually keep everything they sell in their own back room but seem to have a super arrangement with the manufacturers (or somebody). I've been pleased with price, shipping costs and delivery. If only they would come help me figure out where to store it myself. There's a box of batting in our living room now. It's about the size of a refrigerator. I've thought about standing the box beside the piano and topping it with a bust of Beethoven. Stringing it with Christmas tree lights? Polly

I like the thought of the Christmas lights lol

I have mine suspended on old curtain rods under one of my sewing tables. I can pull it off the roll easy that way.

Boofhead did investigate it when I first put it there (as cats will!) but after he cautiously climbed on top of the roll only to have it gently roll and dump him head first on the floor . . . . . well, he never went back on it. He just sleeps in his box next to it now.

Grab some Christmas fabric and drape it over the top artfully, stack presents on and around and voila! A Christmas tree!!

Either that or send it to me and I'll take care of it for you.....

Buy it a Halloween costume -a mask and a cape would do! You could get it a Santa suit for Christmas, a Pilgrim outfit for Thanksgiving, endless possibilities! Or just dress it in a baggy cotton house dress and apron, glasses and a wig, and call it your maiden aunt.(I once had an aunt about the size of a refrigerator.) Roberta in D

Thanks Jennel and polly,

I do live within 10 mins of two Fabriclands, a Walmart, and a quilt store I was told to come up with a wish list for christmas and though I might include that. I would rather not but batting retail if I don't have to, even with a discount card at fabricland it is still too expensive IMO for cotton anyway. I don't much like the look of poly for most quilts but for some it is quite suitable.

The only concern I had with Batt-mart was their policy for cross border shipping, they basically state right on ther site that they send it United states postal service regular parcel post and there is no way to track it so as soon as it is sent it is considered delivered for them and if it gets lost it is your tough luck. I can't imagine the USPS losing a parcel so large but stranger things have happened.

How many yards of batting is on a roll?
