I only make quilts for my family, and it is damp where we live, so the wool is great. But since your quilts get photographed and examined by a lot of people, you might want to consider that wool is just a little different. I've never used the brand you mentioned though, so it is possible that its just a problem with the brand i have used. I really admire the Love quilt,woolywomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14798060848062776281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-66624667623057621362010-05-18T10:40:21.059-04:002010-05-18T10:40:21.059-04:00Thanks for the reminder on how nice wool is to han...Thanks for the reminder on how nice wool is to hand quilt. I'm getting ready to baste a throw and was debating on 80/20 or wool. I pulled out the wool last night. Do you mark your baptist fans or just eyeball or use a guide?

You're working the baptist fans again, must be your favorite pattern to hand quilt. My son is in Platte City, he's a guard at Ft Leavenworth. So I'm waving, I know where you are this week, been there before. Hope there are no hurricanes while you are there.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156858742587928699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-75003307695335154002010-05-17T14:55:07.847-04:002010-05-17T14:55:07.847-04:00Bonnie, I discovered wool batting recently and lo...Bonnie, I discovered wool batting recently and love it. I will never go back to cotton again. It is so worth the extra bit of cost. Wool is a dream to machine quilt and the quilts stay so soft and drapable while still being washable.
