Frequently Asked Questions

What does the scrim actually do?

It's a very lightweight open-weave layer bonded into the batting that adds tear resistance and shape retention — the difference you feel when loading batting onto leaders week after week under mechanical tension.

Can I feel the scrim in the finished quilt?

Most quilters can't — it's fine enough that it doesn't impede needle penetration or change the quilt's drape and hand.

Scrim or no scrim — how do I choose?

Scrim for longarm and production machine work where durability under tension matters; scrim-free (standard Heirloom cotton) for hand quilting where effortless needling matters most.

Is it still a natural cotton batting?

The batting fibers are 100% natural cotton; the scrim itself is typically a fine polyester mesh. You get cotton's breathability and feel with added structural support.

How many quilts per roll?

Approximately 10–12 queen-size battings from the 96" x 30-yard roll.
