Top 10 Questions About Pellon Natural Cotton Crib Package
- What is the crib package size used for?
- Standard crib quilts (approximately 36" x 52" finished), baby blankets, small wall hangings, and any project in the 45" x 60" range. The package is pre-cut to eliminate batting waste on small projects.
- Why choose Natural cotton for baby quilts?
- Natural unbleached cotton is a traditional, chemical-free choice for baby quilts. The warm tone works with the cream, natural, and warm-toned fabrics often used in baby quilts. For bright white baby quilts, the White version is more appropriate.
- Does Pellon Natural Cotton Crib shrink?
- Yes — 100% cotton shrinks 3–5% after first wash, creating the vintage crinkle characteristic of cotton batting.
- What is the scrim?
- A light needle-punched bonding layer that holds the cotton fibers together during quilting and prevents migration and bearding.
- Is this appropriate for longarm quilting?
- Yes — load the batting flat across the leader and quilt as normal. The crib size is appropriate for smaller longarm machines or home machines for baby quilts.
- Is the package format more economical than by-the-yard?
- For individual crib/baby quilts, the package provides pre-cut convenience. For studios producing multiple baby quilts, roll format provides better per-yard economy.
- Does it require pre-washing?
- No.
- What stitch distance is appropriate?
- Follow current Pellon recommendations for Natural Cotton batting. Generally, closer quilting is better for cotton batting long-term stability.
- Is this appropriate for gift quilts?
- Yes — a complete Pellon crib batting package can be included with fabric and pattern as a complete baby quilt gift kit.
- Is this available in White?
- Check current Linda’s inventory for White Pellon Cotton Crib package availability.
