Frequently Asked Questions

Why use the 45" width instead of the 90" roll?

For throws, wall hangings, table runners, and crafts where the quilt is narrower than 45", the 45" roll eliminates batting waste compared to cutting from the 90" width. For production studios making primarily smaller projects, the 45" roll is significantly more economical.

How many throw quilts does a 40-yard roll yield?

A standard throw quilt (approximately 50" wide x 60" long) requires approximately 2 yards. A 40-yard roll yields approximately 20 throw quilts.

Is this the same batting quality as the 90" rolls?

Yes — identical fiber content, construction, and performance as all Warm & Natural batting. Only the width differs.

Does this batting shrink?

Yes — approximately 3–5% on first washing. Pre-wash if a flat finish is needed; the slight crinkle from shrinkage creates the classic cotton quilt appearance.

What stitch spacing is recommended?

The Warm Company recommends quilting within 10" for Warm & Natural. This generous spacing accommodates most all-over designs.
