The Hobbs Thermore Polyester Batting Package is an ultra-thin, ultra-light batting engineered for quilted garments, wearables, and bags — real insulating warmth with essentially no bulk, so jackets drape naturally and seams lie flat.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes Thermore different from regular polyester batting?
- It is purpose-built for wearables: exceptionally thin and flat so garments move with the body, buttonholes function properly, and multiple seam layers sew without bulk buildup.
- Can I use Thermore in a bed quilt?
- You can, but it isn't the best tool for that job — standard Heirloom 80/20 or Polydown gives a bed quilt better warmth and texture. Thermore shines in garments and structured projects.
- Why is it the go-to for quilted jackets?
- The flat profile keeps the garment silhouette professional — seams press flat, the fabric drapes, and the jacket stays light while still insulating.
- Does it work for quilted bags and totes?
- Yes — it gives bags structure without stiffness and sews easily through handles and layered seams on a standard machine.
- How close do I need to quilt it?
- Keep quilting lines within 2–3 inches to keep the thin batting stable over the life of the project.
