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.
