Top 10 Questions About Quilters Dream Request Natural Cotton Batting
Q: What is the difference between Quilters Dream Request and Select cotton batting?
A: Request is a lighter loft cotton batting — thinner and more affordable than Select. Select has a slightly higher loft and is considered the premium tier. Request is the go-to for quilters who want consistent Quilters Dream quality at a more accessible price point.
Q: Is Quilters Dream Request 100% natural cotton?
A: Yes — Request Natural Cotton contains no polyester. It is made from 100% natural cotton fibers, giving it the breathability, drape, and natural feel of pure cotton.
Q: Is this batting good for everyday client quilts on a longarm?
A: Absolutely — the lighter loft and more accessible price make Request the preferred choice for longarm quilters working through high volumes of customer quilts where consistent quality and value are both priorities.
Q: How far apart should I quilt Request Natural Cotton batting?
A: Quilters Dream recommends quilting within 4 inches for Request batting. This ensures the batting remains stable and maintains its structure over years of use and washing.
Q: Does Request batting shrink when washed?
A: Yes — expect 3–5% shrinkage on the first wash. The cotton fiber naturally creates the classic crinkled, antique texture that many customers specifically request in their finished quilts.
