Top 10 Questions About Hobbs 80/20 96in By The Yard

When is by-the-yard 80/20 the right choice?

For individual quilters who need a specific yardage for one quilt; for small studios filling inventory gaps between roll deliveries; for customers who want to purchase batting for their own quilt project; and for studios testing 80/20 quality before committing to a full roll purchase.

Is the quality the same as the roll format?

Yes — same Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 construction, same 96" width, cut from production rolls.

How many yards do I need for a queen quilt?

A standard queen quilt requires approximately 2.75–3 yards of 96" batting with standard loading overlap allowances.

Does Hobbs 80/20 shrink after washing?

What stitch distance is required?

Hobbs recommends stitching no more than 4" apart for Heirloom 80/20.

Is this the right choice for a hand quilter?

Yes — Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 is a respected hand quilting batting. The cotton content provides the needle-friendly quality hand quilters seek.

Can I purchase a single yard?

Check current Linda’s purchasing minimums for by-the-yard batting. Most stores offer single-yard minimums.

Is 96" wide appropriate for queen quilts?

96" accommodates standard queen quilts with standard loading overlap. For full king production without piecing, 120" wide batting is needed.
