Top 10 Questions About Pellon Natural Cotton With Scrim 90" x 40 yards
Q: What is Pellon Natural Cotton With Scrim batting?
A: A 100% unbleached natural cotton needle-punched batting with a lightweight scrim stabilizer that reduces tearing, improves longarm handling, and allows wider quilting distances than unscrimmed cotton. The natural (unbleached) color provides the warm cream tone preferred for traditional and reproduction quilts.
Q: How does Pellon Natural Cotton Scrim compare to Hobbs Heirloom 80/20?
A: Pellon Natural Cotton Scrim is 100% cotton — no polyester. Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 is 80% cotton/20% polyester. The Pellon provides the most natural, all-cotton result; Hobbs 80/20 adds polyester loft stability. Choose based on whether you want pure cotton or a blend.
Q: How many queen quilts does the 40-yard roll provide?
A: At 90" wide × 40 yards, expect approximately 13–16 queen-size quilts depending on quilt dimensions and overhang requirements.
Q: How far apart can I quilt Pellon Cotton With Scrim batting?
A: The scrim construction allows quilting up to 4 inches apart — wider than unscrimmed 100% cotton, making it more practical for longarm production work.
Q: Does this batting shrink when washed?
A: Expect 3–5% shrinkage on first wash from the all-cotton content — producing the antique crinkle that cotton batting quilters love.
Q: Is 90" wide enough for queen quilts on a longarm?
A: Adequate for standard queen quilts with proper overhang. Verify against your specific quilt dimensions and longarm frame loading requirements before ordering in bulk.
Q: What thread pairs best with natural cotton scrim batting?
A: Warm neutrals — 10WG1 Linen Glide, 17443 Bone Glide, 20001 Cream Glide — complement the natural batting tone through the quilt sandwich.
Q: Is this batting good for traditional and reproduction quilts?
A: Yes — the natural unbleached cotton color reads as period-appropriate for traditional and reproduction quilts, providing authentic warm batting tone without bleaching.
Q: Does the scrim affect the finished quilt's feel?
A: Minimally — the lightweight scrim becomes imperceptible after quilting and washing. The finished quilt retains the natural cotton hand.
