Top 10 Questions About Quilters Dream Request Cotton Throw Roll
Q: What is the throw-width 60" roll best used for?
A: The 60" wide roll is ideal for throw quilts, lap quilts, baby quilts, large wall hangings, and any longarm project smaller than a twin bed quilt. Many longarm studios keep a throw roll on hand specifically for smaller customer projects.
Q: How many throws can I get from a 30-yard roll?
A: At 60" x 30 yards, a roll typically provides 12–15 standard throw-size quilt battings (approximately 60" x 72"), making it an economical choice for studios with a high volume of smaller projects.
Q: Is this batting 100% natural cotton?
A: Yes — Quilters Dream Request Natural Cotton is 100% natural unbleached cotton with no polyester content. It has a warm cream color that complements traditional and reproduction fabrics beautifully.
Q: What is the difference between Request and Select in the Quilters Dream line?
A: Request is a lighter, thinner loft cotton batting at a more accessible price point. Select has a slightly higher loft and is considered the premium tier. Request is the go-to for everyday client quilts; Select for premium and show-quality work.
Q: How far apart should I quilt this batting?
A: Quilters Dream recommends quilting within 4 inches. This ensures the cotton stays stable and maintains its integrity through years of use and regular washing.
Q: Does this batting shrink when washed?
A: Expect 3–5% shrinkage on the first wash. This produces the classic antique crinkle texture that many quilters and customers specifically prefer in their finished throw quilts.
Q: Can I use a 60" wide throw roll for a baby quilt?
A: Yes — the 60" width is perfect for baby quilt batting. You get plenty of overhang for a standard baby quilt top, and each cut from the roll provides generous working room for basting and longarm loading.
Q: Does the throw roll load easily on a longarm batting system?
A: Yes — the 60" width is the narrowest standard Quilters Dream roll width. It loads easily on standard longarm batting leaders and is very manageable compared to wider queen or king rolls.
Q: Is Quilters Dream Request cotton batting breathable?
A: Yes — 100% natural cotton is among the most breathable batting options available. Throw quilts and lap quilts made with this batting are comfortable in all seasons.
Q: Is this batting currently in stock or on pre-order?
A: Quilters Dream batting is subject to availability. Check the current listing at Linda's Electric Quilters for up-to-date stock status and estimated ship dates for pre-order items.
