I got an enormous roll of rough cotton batting from an upholstery supplier. It wasn't cheap and the shipping was rather much too, IIRC. But, I have enough of this stuff to make many, many quilts or quilted garments. It's really thick, and can be peeled apart at the thickness desired. It's messier to use than the pre-made stuff, but once I got the hang of it I found it no worse than anything else. When it's made up and washed it definitely has that lumpy bumpy look and feel that poly just can't imitate.
