Air Lite Manufacturing Batting Rolls
Air Lite Manufacturing produces high-quality batting rolls purpose-built for longarm studio production — multiple widths, multiple lengths, in both 100% cotton and poly/cotton blend constructions. All rolls include a scrim liner for consistent feed and stability at high quilting speeds. The 122" width provides full coverage for oversized king quilts without piecing. Studios comparing production rolls should also see the Hobbs 80/20 Heirloom 96" roll, the Warm & Natural 40-yard roll, and Linda's Deluxe exclusive blend.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Air Lite width fits my studio's work?
Match the width to your largest routine job: 61" covers throws, baby quilts, and runners with minimal waste; 93" is the general-purpose width for twins through queens; 122" loads oversized kings in a single piece. Many studios run a 93" and a 122" roll side by side and never seam batting.
Why does the scrim liner matter on a longarm?
The scrim is a light stabiliser needle-punched into the batting that stops it stretching or necking as it rolls off the bar under tension. That means consistent thickness edge to edge at production speed, wider allowable quilting spacing, and far less distortion when advancing the quilt.
When would I choose extra loft or double extra loft cotton?
When the client wants visible dimension from a natural-fibre quilt — puffy texture, sculpted motifs, comforter-style fullness — without switching to polyester. Standard loft suits everyday quilts and dense custom work; extra and double extra loft shine with wider quilting spacing that lets the puff show.
