Frequently Asked Questions
- How does Deluxe grade differ from Select grade?
- Deluxe is the highest-loft cotton grade in the Quilters Dream line — it provides noticeably more loft than Select. Quilting designs appear more dramatically raised on Deluxe, and the quilt has more body and presence. Use Deluxe when you want cotton’s natural feel with the most dramatic dimensional results possible from a cotton batting.
- Is Deluxe cotton more difficult to quilt than Select?
- The extra thickness of Deluxe requires slightly more thread and may require modest tension adjustments on some longarm machines. Test on a sample before loading a finished top. Most experienced quilters find Deluxe quilts without significant issues.
- What stitch spacing is recommended for Deluxe cotton?
- Quilters Dream recommends quilting within 8" for Deluxe cotton batting. The higher loft means the quilting designs appear even more dramatically raised than on Select grade.
- Does Deluxe cotton shrink after washing?
- Yes — approximately 3–5% on first washing, similar to other Quilters Dream cotton grades. Pre-wash if a flat finish is needed.
- What sizes are available in Deluxe?
- Standard quilt sizes from crib through king. Check the current Linda’s listing for available sizes.
