A 6oz polyester batting is a medium loft option — lighter and fluffier than 9oz, but with more dimension than ultra-thin battings like Thermore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How does 6oz polyester batting compare to 9oz for quilting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The 6oz has less loft and is easier to quilt through, making it better suited for detailed free-motion work and dense pantographs. The 9oz is plusher and better for tied quilts and simpler designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this batting good for longarm quilting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, the 96-inch wide roll format is designed specifically for longarm machines. It loads cleanly onto batting leaders and feeds evenly through the frame without bunching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does polyester batting require special care when washing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Polyester batting is one of the easiest to wash — machine wash gentle, tumble dry low. Unlike cotton batting, it does not shrink and bounces back to full loft after every wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is 6oz polyester batting hypoallergenic?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, 100% polyester batting is hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, mold, and mildew, making it an excellent choice for quilts used by allergy sufferers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How far apart can I quilt with 6oz polyester batting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: You can quilt up to 6–8 inches apart with 6oz polyester batting, giving you more flexibility for open designs compared to cotton battings which require closer quilting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How many quilts can I get from a 30-yard roll?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: At 96 inches wide and 30 yards long, you can expect approximately 10–12 queen-size batting cuts depending on the exact quilt dimensions, making it excellent value per quilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will this batting beard through my quilt top?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Hobbs polyester battings are bonded to minimize bearding. Using a tightly woven quilt top fabric further reduces any fiber migration through the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does polyester batting breathe as well as cotton?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Polyester does not breathe as naturally as cotton. For summer quilts or warm-climate use, a cotton or cotton-blend batting is more comfortable. Polyester excels in warmth and loft retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this batting suitable for quilted wall hangings?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: For wall hangings, a lower-loft cotton batting typically hangs flatter and displays quilting designs more crisply. The 6oz poly is better suited for functional quilts where loft and warmth are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOrder the \u003cstrong\u003eHobbs Polyester 6oz 96\" Wide Batting Roll\u003c\/strong\u003e at Linda's Electric Quilters and get a premium longarm-ready polyester batting at a price that makes sense for your studio.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"hobbs-poly-6oz-96-wide-batting-roll","title":"Hobbs Polyester 6oz 96\" Wide Batting Roll","description":"\u003ch2\u003eHobbs Polyester 6oz 96\" Wide Batting Roll\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHobbs Polyester 6oz 96\" Wide Batting Roll:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHobbs Polyester batting adds wonderful loft and warmth.
