Linda's Choice — Exclusively Developed for This Studio
Hobbs Linda's Choice is a special batting developed specifically for Linda's Electric Quilters — a 100% bleached cotton batting with scrim that delivers the most natural cotton feel and breathability available at longarm roll scale. The bleached cotton base provides a bright white that works beautifully under light, white, and bright fabrics, while the scrim layer provides stability and prevents bearding even with loose or open fabric weaves.
Why All-Cotton Batting
100% cotton batting breathes and feels different from 80/20 blends — it has a softer, flatter hand that is preferred by hand quilters and those seeking the most authentic vintage quilting feel. It shrinks slightly more (4-6%) when washed, creating the beloved crinkle characteristic of antique quilts. For heirloom reproduction, vintage-style, and natural-fiber quilts, pure cotton batting is the authentic choice.
