Mid-Weight White Polyester Between Select and Supreme
The Quilters Dream Deluxe White Poly Batting Queen Roll at 93 inches x 30 yards fills the mid-weight position in the Dream polyester batting line: noticeably more dimensional than the Select, lighter and more workable than the Supreme (maximum loft Puff). For studios whose standard Select polyester produces results that occasionally feel slightly flat for specific projects, Deluxe provides the step up in loft and presence that brings the finished quilt into the comfortable middle range of dimensional quality.
Who Chooses Deluxe
The Deluxe weight attracts quilters who want visibly dimensional batting presence in their finished quilts without committing to the extreme loft of the Puff. It quilts well at moderate densities, handles standard free-motion and pantograph work without tension challenges, and produces a finished quilt that reads as distinctly more dimensional than a Select-weight quilt while remaining practical for standard client and production work.
