Top 10 Questions About Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 120" Wide Roll
Q: Why choose 120" wide over the 96" wide Hobbs roll?
A: The 120" width provides complete coverage for oversized and California king quilts that exceed standard 96" batting width. It also gives longarm studios maximum overhang on all sides when loading standard king quilts, eliminating any risk of loading a king-size quilt without adequate batting margin on the sides.
Q: How many king-size quilts does the 30-yard roll provide?
A: At 120" wide × 30 yards, expect approximately 10–12 king-size quilts depending on finished quilt dimensions and overhang requirements.
Q: Is this the same Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 formula as the 96" roll?
A: Yes — identical batting construction, fiber blend, needle-punching, and performance. Only the width differs. Every yard of 120" Heirloom 80/20 behaves exactly like the 96" version.
