Top 10 Questions About Buying Hobbs 80/20 Batting By The Yard
Q: How is by-the-yard batting sold — folded or rolled?
A: By-the-yard batting is cut from the full roll and shipped folded. Most quilters unfold and let it relax flat for a few hours before loading it onto their longarm or quilt frame.
Q: What is the minimum yardage I can order?
A: Minimum order quantities vary — check the product page for current minimums. By-the-yard is ideal for single quilts or small studio restocks without committing to a full roll.
Q: Is the by-the-yard batting the same quality as the roll?
A: Absolutely. It is cut from the same Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 roll, so the fiber content, construction, and performance are identical to buying the full 30-yard roll.
Q: How much batting do I need for a queen-size quilt?
A: For a queen-size quilt using 96-inch wide batting, approximately 3 yards gives you comfortable overhang on all sides for longarm loading or basting on a flat surface.
Q: How much batting do I need for a king-size quilt?
A: A king-size quilt typically requires 3.5 to 4 yards of 96-inch wide batting. Add extra if your quilt top runs large or if you want additional overhang for longarm loading.
Q: Is buying batting by the yard more expensive than buying a roll?
A: The per-yard cost is slightly higher than purchasing a full roll, but buying by the yard eliminates waste and storage concerns for quilters who do not need 30 yards at once.
Q: Can I order multiple yards in one purchase?
A: Yes, you can order as many yards as you need in a single transaction. The batting will be cut as one continuous piece up to the available roll length.
Q: Will the cut edges fray or unravel during quilting?
A: Needle-punched batting like Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 does not fray the way woven fabrics do. The cut edges are stable and will not unravel during quilting or handling.
Q: How should I store unused by-the-yard batting?
A: Roll it loosely and store in a breathable cotton bag or pillowcase in a cool, dry location. Avoid compressing it for long periods to maintain loft.
Q: Does batting sold by the yard ship quickly from Linda's Electric Quilters?
A: Linda's Electric Quilters ships batting orders promptly. Check the current shipping details on the product page for the most accurate delivery timeframes.
