Pure Cotton in Your Size, Ready to Open
The Hobbs Heirloom 100% Natural Cotton Batting Package delivers all-natural, no-synthetic-content cotton batting in the convenient pre-cut format that home quilters and individual-project makers rely on. If your projects, your recipients, or your personal fiber standards require 100% natural cotton with no polyester component, and you want the trusted Hobbs Heirloom quality without managing a roll, this is the product.
What Makes It Different From the 80/20 Package
The Heirloom 80/20 batting packages contain 80% cotton and 20% polyester. That polyester adds bearding resistance, resilience, and reduced shrinkage. The 100% Cotton package has none of those synthetic additions -- every fiber is natural cotton, which means maximum breathability, maximum first-wash crinkle effect, and complete natural fiber purity. It also means closer required quilting spacing (every 2 to 3 inches rather than 4) and higher shrinkage on first wash (up to 5%). These are not flaws -- they are the characteristics of all-cotton batting that many quilters specifically seek out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this batting have a scrim?
This is the Heirloom designation, which is scrim-free and needle-punched. Stability comes from the needle-punching process rather than a scrim or polyester blend. Handle with care during loading to avoid tearing the batting edge.
How close must I quilt on this batting?
Hobbs recommends no more than 3 inches between quilting lines for their all-cotton products. Closer spacing is always fine and produces more pronounced texture in the finished quilt.
Is this the same as the Tuscany Cotton products?
No. The Heirloom 100% Cotton is in the standard-loft Heirloom line. Tuscany Supreme is a higher-loft, more premium all-cotton product at a higher price point. Both are all-cotton; the loft and processing quality differ.
