Frequently Asked Questions
- Where does 12oz sit in the poly weight ladder?
- The usable middle — 6oz is thin lap-quilt territory, 16oz is maximum-puff and maximum-bulk. 12oz delivers bed-quilt warmth and visible loft while still handling like a normal batting on the frame.
- 12oz or 16oz for a puffy client quilt?
- 12oz unless the client explicitly wants extreme — it gives most of the dimensional look with far easier loading, quilting, and finishing. The 16oz is a specialty answer to a specialty request.
- How should it be quilted to show the loft?
- Open — the 8" allowance exists to be used; wide designs let the batting puff between lines, while dense fill compresses away exactly what the weight was bought for.
- Season fit?
- Cool-climate and winter quilts — 12oz runs warm for southern summers; year-round quilts in warm regions do better in cotton or bamboo.
- Wash durability?
- Poly's signature — no shrink, loft recovery every cycle, which is why heavy-use family quilts lean polyester.
