White 80/20 at Production Scale
The Quilters Dream Select White 80/20 Batting Queen Roll at 93 inches x 30 yards is the batting for studios doing regular production work on white and light-colored quilts who want both the visual cleanliness of white batting and the dimensional body that the Dream Select construction provides. It fills the specific gap between standard white cotton batting (which has good drape but modest loft) and white polyester batting (which has good loft but lacks natural fiber character) -- combining 80% cotton breathability and natural drape with 20% polyester loft support in a brilliant white fiber.
The Select Difference on White
In the Dream Select lineup, the same premium construction principles apply across all fiber blends: higher-quality fiber, more consistent needle-punch density, and the characteristic dimensional loft that makes quilting designs stand out more vividly than they would on standard batting. In the white 80/20 version, quilting designs on white fabric pop with dimensional depth that the flat standard battings cannot match. For studios producing white-background competition quilts, heirloom work, or premium client quilts, Select White 80/20 is the quality-forward choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Select White 80/20 and Select White Poly?
Select White 80/20 uses cotton-poly fiber for natural drape and breathability with the Select loft profile. Select White Poly is 100% polyester -- no shrinkage, easy care, but without cotton's natural character. Choose 80/20 for natural fiber feel; choose Poly for no-shrink easy care.
Does white 80/20 batting shrink?
Yes -- as a primarily cotton product, expect 3 to 5 percent first-wash shrinkage producing the characteristic heirloom crinkle.
