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.
