Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of a 70/30 cotton/poly blend over 100% cotton?

The 30% polyester adds resilience and loft stability, meaning the batting bounces back after washing better than pure cotton. It also needles more easily for longarm quilters who stitch at high speed.

How does the 70/30 blend differ from the 80/20 blend?

The 70/30 has slightly more polyester, giving it a marginally higher loft and a bit more spring. The 80/20 is closer to a cotton feel. Both are excellent — the choice comes down to personal preference and the look of the finished quilt.

Can I use this batting for hand quilting?

Yes — Quilters Dream Select is designed for both hand and machine quilting. The cotton content keeps the needle moving easily through the batting layers.

What is the maximum quilting distance for Select loft?

Quilters Dream Select can be quilted up to 8" apart without shifting or bearding. For more open pantograph designs, this is a safe choice.

How do I care for a quilt made with this batting?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and dry on low heat. Expect a small amount of initial shrinkage (approximately 3–5%) that gives the quilt a desirable antique, slightly puckered appearance after the first wash.
