Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Hobbs Polydown package batting the same quality as the roll?
- Yes — Polydown package batting is the same product as the roll batting, simply pre-cut to standard sizes for convenience. The fiber content, construction, and loft are identical.
- When should I choose the package format over buying by the roll?
- The package format is ideal for occasional quilters who quilt one project at a time, for specific project sizes that don’t require a full roll, and when storage space for a large batting roll is limited. For high-volume quilting, the roll format offers better value per yard.

- Hobbs recommends stitching within 6" for Polydown batting. This accommodates most all-over quilting designs at standard spacing.
- Does Polydown package batting require pre-washing?
- No — 100% polyester batting does not require pre-washing. It is ready to use directly from the package without any preparation.
