The 80\/20 is more versatile for production use; 100% cotton is the choice when purity of fiber matters.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eHow does 100% cotton batting differ from 80\/20 in performance?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e100% cotton shrinks slightly more on first washing (4–5% vs. 3% for 80\/20), creating a slightly more pronounced vintage crinkle. It also has a slightly firmer hand before washing. After washing, both produce similar finished feels, though 100% cotton tends to have a marginally more natural drape.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDoes Hobbs 100% cotton batting need to be pre-washed?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003ePre-washing is optional. The shrinkage on first washing creates a desirable antique quilt appearance. Pre-wash both quilt fabrics and batting together if you want a completely flat, pre-shrunk finish.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhat is the recommended stitch spacing?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eHobbs recommends quilting within 10\" for their 100% cotton with scrim batting.
