Frequently Asked Questions

Why use the 120" width for king quilts?

Standard queen-width batting (96") requires seaming for king quilts, creating a seam line across the quilt surface. The 120" width provides single-piece coverage for king and California king quilts without any seaming, saving setup time and ensuring even loft.

How many king quilts does a 30-yard roll yield?

A standard king quilt uses approximately 3.5 yards of batting with adequate loading overhang. A 30-yard roll yields approximately 8 king quilts.

Does this batting shrink?

Yes — approximately 3–5% on first washing. Pre-wash if a perfectly flat finish is desired. The slight shrinkage creates the beloved antique quilt crinkle that many quilters prefer.

What stitch spacing is recommended?

Hobbs recommends quilting within 10" for their cotton with scrim battings. The scrim provides additional stability allowing slightly wider stitch spacing than battings without scrim.

Can this be used for a queen quilt even though it’s king width?

Yes — the 120" batting works for queen quilts with extra loading margin. It uses slightly more batting per quilt than the 96" width, but is an acceptable choice for studios quilting a mix of queen and king.
