Top 10 Questions About Linda's Deluxe Queen Size 3 Yard Package
Q: What is Linda's Deluxe batting?
A: Linda's Deluxe is a proprietary cotton/polyester blend batting manufactured by Hobbs to Linda Taylor's personal specifications — the batting Linda uses in her professional longarm studio and recommends to her students. It is available in roll, by-the-yard, and pre-cut package formats.
Q: Why is this package sized at 3 yards for a queen quilt?
A: At 96" wide, 3 yards provides the standard longarm overhang on all sides of a queen quilt top — enough batting for proper longarm leader attachment and the perimeter margin needed for clean quilting edge-to-edge. It is the size Linda recommends for queen-size projects.
Q: Is this package the right size for a domestic machine quilted queen quilt?
A: For domestic machine quilting where you don't need as much batting overhang, 3 yards at 96" wide is ample for a queen quilt with fabric to spare. It may be more than strictly necessary for domestic use, but extra margin is never a problem.
Q: How does this differ from the 96" roll?
A: The 3-yard package is perfect for home quilters who quilt occasional projects and don't need bulk roll inventory. The 96" roll is for studios quilting many quilts and needing the best cost-per-quilt efficiency of bulk batting.
Q: What is the cotton/polyester blend ratio?
A: Check the current product listing for the specific blend specifications of Linda's Deluxe batting — the proprietary formulation reflects Linda's professional preferences for optimal longarm performance.
Q: Does Linda's Deluxe shrink when washed?
A: As a cotton-blend batting, expect some shrinkage on first wash consistent with the cotton content, producing the natural crinkle that cotton-blend batting is loved for.
Q: Is this batting appropriate for longarm quilting?
A: Yes — Linda specifically developed this batting for longarm use. It loads cleanly on leaders and performs consistently through the quilting process.
Q: How far apart can I quilt Linda's Deluxe batting?
A: Check the product listing for Linda's specific quilting distance recommendation for this batting. As a cotton-poly blend manufactured by Hobbs, it is likely similar to Hobbs Heirloom 80/20.
Q: Is Linda's Deluxe Queen Package the same quality as the roll?
A: Identical — cut from the same batting roll. The package format simply provides a measured, ready-to-use quantity.
Q: Is Linda's Deluxe Queen 3 Yard Package in stock at Linda's?
A: Check the current product listing for live availability. This is one of the most popular batting packages at Linda's Electric Quilters for home quilters.
