If I could please beg again for advice/experiences/opinions:
I am making a 9-patch quilt out of scraps, I thought it was time for an easy quilt just for fun, and just for frugality's sake I wanted to use up some pretty 30's prints. I plan to give the quilt away to any organization or person who needs a quilt -- this is kind of a therapy quilt for me anyway, and the purpose is the *making* of the quilt, not so much the finished product. Kinda like working a crossword puzzle.
Keeping with the frugality issue, I was trying to use up the things I have on-hand to finish. I had a "bargain" bag of batting I got on sale, but now pulling it out of the bag I'm not so sure about it. It seems awfully thin and not so stable, i.e. it seems to tear easily. Keep in mind I sometimes don't know what I'm talking about -- I haven't used a great variety of batting.
Anyhoo!! This is getting too long. The question is, the name on the bag says "Mountain Mist Gold Cotton-Polyester batting. 50% Cotton 50% polyester. Carded fiber with light bonding. Washable with Care, do not prewash."
Has anybody ever used this stuff? Did it turn out okay? This one is gonna be machine quilted.
Thank you all.
