It provides noticeable dimension and warmth while remaining practical for longarm and domestic machine quilting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How does Hobbs Poly 12oz compare to Hobbs Poly 6oz?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The 12oz version has significantly higher loft and provides more warmth and visual puffiness than the 6oz. The 6oz is thinner and more suited for lap quilts and wall hangings; the 12oz creates a more dramatic, bed-quilt-appropriate loft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How far apart can I quilt Hobbs Poly 12oz?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Hobbs recommends quilting up to 8 inches apart for their polyester battings — giving longarm quilters substantial flexibility for open, widely spaced designs that showcase the batting's loft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the 96\" width right for queen quilts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes — 96\" provides comfortable overhang on all sides of a standard queen quilt top when loaded on longarm leaders, making it one of the most practical wide-format batting widths for queen production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is Hobbs Poly 12oz hypoallergenic?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes — 100% polyester batting is naturally hypoallergenic, making it an excellent choice for quilts made for allergy-sensitive recipients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this batting machine washable in finished quilts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes — fully machine washable on a gentle cycle and tumble drys on low heat. Polyester maintains its loft through repeated laundering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does Hobbs Poly 12oz shrink when washed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No significant shrinkage — polyester batting is dimensionally stable through regular laundering, unlike cotton batting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is 12oz polyester appropriate for year-round bed quilts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: 12oz is warm enough for cool climates but may be heavy for summer use in warmer regions. For year-round versatility, a lighter-weight cotton or bamboo batting may be more comfortable in warmer months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does heavy polyester batting beard through quilt tops?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The Hobbs needle-punching process minimizes bearding. Using tightly woven quilting cotton provides the best protection against any fiber migration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is Hobbs Poly 12oz 96\" Batting in stock at Linda's?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Check the current product listing for live availability.
