Black batting stays invisible behind dark fabrics, preserving the richness and depth of your colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is Hobbs Black batting the same quality as the standard Heirloom 80\/20?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, it is the exact same 80% cotton and 20% polyester needle-punched construction — just dyed black. The performance, quilting distance, and washability are identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will the black dye bleed onto my quilt fabrics?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Hobbs processes the batting to minimize dye transfer. As a precaution, pre-washing the batting before use is recommended, especially for light-colored binding or backing fabrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What types of quilts benefit most from black batting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Halloween quilts, gothic or dark-themed quilts, black-and-white quilts, star quilts with black backgrounds, and any quilt featuring predominantly dark or black fabrics benefit significantly from black batting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How far apart can I quilt with Hobbs Black 80\/20 batting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Like all Hobbs Heirloom 80\/20 products, quilting lines should be no more than 4 inches apart for best results and lasting loft retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does black batting show quilting thread differently than white batting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes — black batting creates a dramatic backdrop that makes both dark and light thread colors pop beautifully, giving your quilting designs extra visual impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use black batting with a white or light backing fabric?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, you can. The black color is on the interior of the quilt sandwich, so it does not affect the backing appearance. Just ensure your quilt top is dark enough that the batting won't shadow through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is Hobbs Black batting suitable for longarm quilting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Absolutely. It feeds through longarm machines the same way as the standard Heirloom 80\/20, making it a seamless swap for dark quilt projects in any quilting studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What sizes does the Hobbs Black Batting Package come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: It is available in standard sizes from crib to king, giving you options for any project size without having to purchase a full roll.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is Hobbs Black batting washable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, wash in cool water on a gentle cycle. Wash dark quilts separately for the first few washes to prevent any minimal dye transfer onto other fabrics or laundry items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShop the \u003cstrong\u003eHobbs Heirloom Black 80\/20 Batting Package\u003c\/strong\u003e at Linda's Electric Quilters and give your dark quilts the professional finish they deserve.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"hobbs-heirloom-black-80-20-108-wide-batting-roll","title":"Hobbs Heirloom Black Batting 80\/20 108\" Wide Batting Roll","description":"\u003ch2\u003eHobbs Heirloom Black Batting 80\/20 108\" Wide Batting Roll\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHobbs Heirloom Black Batting 80\/20 108\" Wide Batting Roll:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHobbs Heirloom Premium 80\/20 Black Cotton Blend Batting is highly recommended for quilts made with black or dark-colored fabrics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is made using color-fast, dyed cotton fibers to provide quilters with a batting that not only keeps the fabric colors true, it will not create light fiber lint on the quilt top during the quilting process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHobbs Heirloom Premium 80\/20 Black Cotton Blend Batting is wonderful to quilt by hand or machine.
