Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a king quilt need 120" x 120" batting?

Overhang — standard king tops run 100"–110" wide, and the extra margin on all sides is what makes longarm leader attachment and home basting workable without piecing batting.

Does it fit a California king?

Cal kings run longer and narrower than standard kings — measure your finished top against 120" x 120" before buying.

White or natural — how do I decide?

Identical construction; white is bleached for brightness. Use white behind white, light, and bright tops; natural cream behind vintage, reproduction, and warm palettes.

How does it handle on a longarm?

The scrim makes it tear-resistant under leader tension — which matters most at king size, where the batting's own weight adds stress during loading.

Is a pre-cut king good value?

Yes — it avoids over-buying from a roll for a single project, and eliminates measuring and cutting at the largest, most unwieldy size.
