Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the advantage of bamboo/cotton blend over pure cotton?
- Bamboo fibers add exceptional softness and a subtle natural sheen that pure cotton cannot match. The bamboo also contributes natural moisture-wicking properties, making the finished quilt more comfortable for use as a bed quilt. The cotton content provides familiar batting behavior and performance.
- How many queen quilts does a 6-yard roll yield?
- At 3 yards per queen quilt, a 6-yard roll provides enough for 2 queen quilts — ideal for sampling the batting before purchasing a larger roll.
- Does Pellon bamboo/cotton batting require pre-washing?
- Bamboo batting has minimal shrinkage compared to cotton. Check the Pellon bamboo product instructions for specific pre-wash recommendations.
- Is the scrim necessary for machine quilting?
- The scrim provides stability during loading and stitching on longarm and domestic machines, preventing batting migration and allowing slightly wider stitch spacing than unscrimmed battings.
- Is Pellon bamboo batting comparable to Quilters Dream bamboo?
- Both use bamboo/cotton blends with similar softness qualities. Specific construction differences exist between manufacturers. Many quilters find the Pellon version an excellent value-priced bamboo option.
