Frequently Asked Questions

How does bamboo/cotton feel compared to 100% cotton?

Noticeably silkier with better drape — the bamboo adds a soft hand and slight sheen pure cotton doesn't achieve, at a similar price point.

Why is bamboo considered eco-friendly?

Bamboo grows extremely fast, needs no pesticides, and regenerates after harvest — a more sustainable fiber source than conventional cotton.

Is it breathable?

Yes — bamboo is among the most breathable and moisture-wicking natural fibers, keeping quilts comfortable year-round.

How does it quilt on a longarm?

The 90" width covers queen tops with leader overhang, and the scrim adds tear resistance under frame tension. Keep quilting within 4 inches.

Why buy the bolt instead of packages?

More batting per dollar and no repeat purchases across multiple projects — the right format for studios and avid quilters.
