The Signature Blend in Package Format
The Linda's Deluxe Cotton/Poly Blend Batting Queen Size 3-Yard Package brings the unique 60/40 cotton-polyester blend that distinguishes the Linda's Deluxe line to a single-project, pre-cut package format. For quilters who want to try the signature blend without committing to the full 96-inch roll, or who make occasional queen quilts and prefer the convenience of a pre-cut package over managing roll yardage, this package delivers the complete Linda's Deluxe experience in exactly the right amount for one queen quilt. For the industry-standard 80/20 blend comparison, see the Hobbs 80/20 package guide.
What Is Linda's Deluxe Blend
The Linda's Deluxe batting is made by Hobbs to Linda Taylor's exclusive specification: a 60% cotton and 40% polyester blend that shifts the standard 80/20 ratio toward polyester for specific performance advantages. Higher polyester content produces more loft retention through washing, reduced shrinkage (1 to 2 percent versus 3 to 5 for the 80/20), superior bearding resistance, and a slightly fuller, more dimensional appearance in the finished quilt. These are the same characteristics available in the 96-inch roll, now in a 3-yard queen package that cuts directly to a standard queen quilt size.
Top 10 Uses
- Individual Queen Quilts -- One package, one queen quilt, no cutting from a roll required.
- First-Time Linda's Deluxe Trial -- Experience the signature blend on one project before investing in the roll.
- Dark and Tightly Woven Fabric Quilts -- Superior bearding resistance makes this the right batting choice for batiks, dark solids, and densely woven modern fabrics.
- Quilts Where Full Loft on the Bed Matters -- The higher poly content gives finished quilts a fuller, more dimensional appearance when displayed on the bed.
- Gift Quilts With Premium Character -- Linda's Deluxe batting communicates quality from the first touch of the finished quilt.
- Quilts Destined for Heavy Use and Frequent Washing -- Lower shrinkage and higher durability through washing make this an excellent choice for everyday-use quilts.
- Precise-Dimension Quilts -- Lower shrinkage is important for quilts made to specific measurements (bed topper sizes, custom dimensions).
- Humid and Allergy-Sensitive Applications -- Higher polyester content and hypoallergenic construction.
- Supplementing the Roll -- When the 96-inch roll runs low mid-project, a package bridges the gap.
- Occasional Quilters -- Serious about batting quality but not making enough quilts to warrant a full roll investment.
