Frequently Asked Questions

What does “Select” grade mean in the Quilters Dream line?

Quilters Dream offers multiple loft grades: Request (lightest), Select (mid-weight), and Dream (heaviest loft). Select is the most popular all-purpose grade — it provides good loft definition for quilting designs to show clearly, without being so thick it’s difficult to quilt or adds excessive warmth.

Is the natural color appropriate for all quilts?

Natural works for most quilts. For white, cream, or very pale fabrics where the batting might shadow through thin fabric, the white version provides a better match. For medium and dark fabrics, natural is ideal.

What stitch spacing does Quilters Dream Select cotton require?

Quilters Dream recommends quilting within 8" for their Select cotton batting. This accommodates most all-over pantograph and custom quilting designs.

Does this batting shrink?

Approximately 3–5% on first washing, creating a slight crinkle effect. Pre-wash if a flat finish is needed.

What sizes are available?

Standard quilt sizes from crib through king. Check the current Linda’s listing for available sizes.
