FOAM for wadding????!!!! yuk! I use beautiful all cotton 'Hobbs heirloom' and it is a dream to quilt (sew through all the layers) - it has a wonderfully soft sensous feel to stitch (top and backing have to be 100% cotton too to sew easily and comfortably) - it's great when sitting with DS hopefully asleep and DD having her piano lesson in the winter because the quilt keeps you warm even if not finished. In an ideal world I'd piece the top together in the summer (only one cotton layer) and quilt the sandwiched layers in the colder weather (summer, autumn, winter and spring...)
