Frequently Asked Questions

How does 100% Cotton differ from Heirloom 80/20?

No polyester means a softer, more drapeable, more natural hand — at the cost of a tighter quilting distance (2–3" vs 4") and slightly less loft resilience. Choose it when the natural result matters most.

Is it good for hand quilting?

Excellent — pure cotton compresses under the thimble and lets fine stitches pass cleanly, the classic heirloom hand-quilting combination.

Can I use it on a longarm?

Yes — the 2–3 inch quilting distance means it suits detailed custom work with dense designs rather than open pantographs.

Is it breathable?

Among the most breathable battings available — comfortable in both warm and cool seasons.

Is it safe for baby quilts?

Yes — natural cotton with no synthetic fibers or binders is one of the most trusted baby quilt battings.
