I'm especially interested to hear that the stuff on the roll is thicker than the pre packaged stuff, which I've used before but found a bit thin for my taste.

Not much though. I agree he pre-packaged stuff is almost transparent compared to the Quilter's Dream and to the Hobbs Heirloom on the role.

It is of the same excellent quality though and not comparable with the Hobbs Heirloom that comes prepackaged which I think is almost see-through.Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04726377625328937005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1422633799021944588.post-13347165207557071482013-04-08T11:05:33.610+01:002013-04-08T11:05:33.610+01:00Judith, I'm a big fan of the Quilters Dream Se...Judith, I'm a big fan of the Quilters Dream Select wadding that you first bought. Now that you get the Hobbs Heirloom how does that compare? Is it not a good bit thinner? The precut hobs stuff I've tried has seemed almost transparent in comparison with the Quilters Dream Select. I'd love to hear what you think, as I'm always interested in a cheaper wadding if its just the same!!!<br />I'd love to get a bolt but like you, teeeny house, and I think my man would have a fit... lolSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401124377008075764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1422633799021944588.post-75041789839528321332013-04-08T10:42:22.857+01:002013-04-08T10:42:22.857+01:00I'm starting to think about saving up for a ro...I'm starting to think about saving up for a roll of wadding. I seem to be using the Quilter's Dream Select the most, is the Heirloom one you buy thinner or thicker than that? I like some loft to my quilts and have found the others I've tried too thin for my tastes, I'd actually like something a tad thicker than the Select but I've not found a 100% cotton one yet that fits the bill.<br /><br />My sewing room is a teeny tiny box room so I won't be able to buy a roll until we move house as there is absolutely nowhere to store it here. I was thinking the other night (as you do!) that I could try and see if my Dad would make a stand for me like you see in quilting shops to store it when I do eventually get one, that way at least it wouldn't roll away!<br /><br />Thanks for the information, really useful!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13809134172162935569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1422633799021944588.post-76741778894441879812013-04-08T08:09:25.902+01:002013-04-08T08:09:25.902+01:00Great post Judith!
