Pet Peeve

As a longarm quilter things usually run pretty smoothly and there are few frustrations within the job.  My pet peeve is the Hobbs batting that comes rolled and in a bag. This batting has gathers, folds and puckers that make it very hard to sandwich. This example is a wool batting by Hobbs that was folded and rolled into a bag. I unroll it to let it relax over night and then lightly spritz it with water to relieve some of the folds but it still doesn't totally solve the problem.

Hobbs produces batting sold on a roll (I keep it in stock) and it is a far superior product which is much easier to work with.  Dream is another favourite batting sold in most quilt shops and I love it.
A lesson in 'you get what you pay for'.
