Quilters Dream's Maximum Loft Statement
The Quilters Dream Puff Batting Queen Roll at 93 inches x 25 yards is exactly what its name suggests: a batting engineered for maximum loft, maximum fullness, and maximum visual presence in finished quilts. Where the Dream Select polyester offers consistent, versatile loft appropriate for most machine-quilted projects, the Puff is designed for the applications where you want the batting to be a dominant part of the quilt's character -- tied comforters, display pieces, gift quilts designed to impress on first sight, and any project where the phrase "cloud-like" is a design goal rather than an exaggeration.
What Separates Puff From Standard High-Loft Batting
Quilters Dream builds Puff batting to their quality standards -- the same fiber selection, processing discipline, and consistency requirements they apply across the entire Dream product line. The difference between Puff and a commodity high-loft polyester is the same as the difference between Dream Select and a budget cotton batting: the fiber quality, bonding consistency, and loft uniformity produce a finished quilt that looks and feels premium rather than merely full. Puff is not just thick -- it is consistently, uniformly, beautifully thick.

Working With High-Loft Batting on a Longarm
Puff batting creates a thick quilt sandwich. Raise presser foot to maximum, test tension carefully before beginning, and keep quilting designs open (3+ inch spacing minimum). Dense quilting at this loft weight produces a flat, over-compressed result that defeats the purpose of using a high-loft batting. For most Puff applications, tied construction or open pantograph designs are the right approach.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many queen quilts does a 25-yard roll yield?
At 105 to 115-inch cut lengths, a 25-yard (900-inch) roll yields approximately 8 queen-size batting cuts.
Is Puff machine-quiltable on a domestic machine?
Very challenging -- the thickness exceeds most domestic machine capability for stitched work. Longarm machines handle Puff batting more comfortably with open designs. For domestic use, tied construction is the practical approach.
Does Puff shrink?
No -- 100% polyester construction has no shrinkage through washing.
