Top 10 Questions About Hobbs Linda's Choice Batting
Q: What makes Linda's Choice Batting different from other Hobbs cotton battings?
A: Linda's Choice is a curated selection — 100% bleached cotton with a stabilizing scrim, chosen specifically for longarm performance. The combination of brilliant white bleached cotton and scrim-reinforced durability makes it the top choice for professional longarm studios.
Q: Why is Linda's Choice batting bleached?
A: The bleached white finish ensures no natural cream or tan tones shadow through light-colored quilt tops. It is the ideal batting for modern quilts, white-on-white designs, and any quilt where a pure white background matters.
Q: What does the scrim do in Linda's Choice Batting?
A: The scrim is a fine stabilizing layer that makes the batting tear-resistant under longarm frame tension. It allows smooth loading, consistent feeding through the machine, and greatly reduces the risk of tearing during high-tension quilting passes.
Q: Is 108 inches wide enough for king-size quilts?
A: Yes, 108 inches comfortably covers standard king-size quilt tops with ample overhang on all sides for longarm leader attachment — making it one of the most practical widths for full-service longarm studios.
Q: How many quilts does a 25-yard roll of Linda's Choice yield?
A: A 25-yard roll at 108 inches wide typically provides 8–10 king-size or 10–12 queen-size quilt battings, depending on exact project dimensions. It is sized specifically for professional studios that want a manageable roll without the bulk of a full 30-yard roll.
Q: How far apart can I quilt with Linda's Choice Batting?
A: For best results, quilt within 3 inches. The scrim provides added stability, but consistent close quilting ensures the batting maintains its integrity and appearance over the life of the quilt.
Q: Does Linda's Choice Batting shrink?
A: As with all cotton battings, expect 3–5% shrinkage on the first wash. This creates the classic crinkled texture that many quilters love in finished cotton quilts.
Q: Is Linda's Choice Batting safe for all quilt fabrics?
A: Yes, the bleached white finish and needle-punched construction make it suitable for all quilting fabrics. It is especially recommended for light, pastel, and white fabrics where a cream batting would shadow through.
Q: Why is Linda's Choice sold in a 25-yard roll instead of 30 yards?
A: The 25-yard roll is specifically designed to be easier to handle, ship, and store for professional quilting studios. It is lighter and more manageable than a standard 30-yard roll without sacrificing the economics of roll-format buying.
Q: Where can I buy Hobbs Linda's Choice Batting?
A: Linda's Choice Batting is exclusively available at Linda's Electric Quilters — you won't find this exact curation anywhere else. It is Linda's personal recommendation backed by years of professional longarm quilting experience.
