Frequently Asked Questions
- How is Tuscany different from Hobbs Heirloom 80/20?
- Tuscany is 100% cotton with no polyester, giving a softer, more drapeable hand. The tradeoff: it requires closer quilting (3" vs 4") to stay stable over time.
- Is it good for hand quilting?
- Exceptional — the pure cotton compresses beautifully under the needle, letting fine stitches sink in with minimal resistance.
- Can I use it on a longarm?
- Yes — it is well suited to detailed custom longarm work where dense quilting is planned. Keep designs within the 3-inch quilting distance.
- Why choose unbleached?
- The natural cream tone sits invisibly behind reproduction fabrics and warm palettes, and skips the bleaching process entirely for quilters who want the most natural product.
- Is it safe for baby quilts?
- Yes — 100% natural cotton with no chemical binders or synthetic fibers is a popular choice for baby and children's quilts.
