The 80\/20 blend has slightly more loft and resilience due to the polyester content. Choose 100% cotton for the most natural result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is 100% cotton batting harder to quilt through than a blend?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Pure cotton is slightly denser than an 80\/20 blend, but Hobbs needle-punches their 100% cotton batting for stability and ease of needling. Most quilters find it quilts beautifully by both hand and machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How much does Hobbs 100% Cotton batting shrink?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Expect approximately 3–5% shrinkage on the first wash, creating the beloved antique crinkle texture. For a flatter finish, pre-wash and dry the batting before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is 100% cotton batting breathable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, natural cotton is one of the most breathable batting options available. Quilts made with 100% cotton batting are comfortable in both warm and cool seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How far apart can I quilt with Hobbs 100% Cotton batting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Hobbs recommends quilting within 2–3 inches for 100% cotton batting to maintain stability and prevent the batting from shifting or bunching inside the quilt over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this batting good for hand quilting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: It is excellent for hand quilting. Pure cotton compresses beautifully under the thimble and allows fine stitches to pass through cleanly — a classic combination for heirloom-quality hand quilting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use 100% cotton batting for longarm quilting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, though the 2–3 inch quilting distance requirement means you will need to plan for denser quilting designs. It is ideal for detailed custom longarm work where close quilting is intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is 100% cotton batting safe for baby quilts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Absolutely. Natural cotton with no synthetic fibers or chemical binders is one of the most trusted choices for baby quilts and children's bedding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does Hobbs 100% Cotton batting beard through quilt tops?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Needle-punching locks the cotton fibers together and minimizes bearding. Pairing with 100% cotton quilting fabrics provides the best resistance to fiber migration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What sizes does the Hobbs 100% Cotton Batting Package come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Available from crib through king in standard pre-cut sizes, making it easy to choose the exact size for your current project without waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEmbrace the natural choice — shop the \u003cstrong\u003eHobbs Heirloom 100% Cotton Batting Package\u003c\/strong\u003e at Linda's Electric Quilters today.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"hobbs-heirloom-100-cotton-batting-package","title":"Hobbs Heirloom 100% Cotton Batting Package","description":"\u003ch2\u003eHobbs Heirloom 100% Cotton Batting Package\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHobbs Heirloom 100% Cotton Batting Package:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHobbs Heirloom\u003csup\u003e \u003c\/sup\u003e Premium 100% Natural Cotton with Scrim Batting is designed for quilters who enjoy using natural cotton batting and who are seeking extra strength in that batting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrong, but also soft (\u003cem\u003eand softer after each washing\u003c\/em\u003e), Hobbs Heirloom\u003csup\u003e \u003c\/sup\u003e Premium 100% Natural Cotton with Scrim Batting is perfect for quilts where a low loft is desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis soft and pliable batting is made with very clean, high-grade, unbleached, long-staple, virgin cotton (\u003cem\u003ewhich proudly displays the Cotton Incorporated Seal\u003c\/em\u003e) combined with a very thin, polyester scrim (stabilizer) which is needle-punched into the cotton fibers.
