Is package batting the same quality as roll batting?

Yes — Warm & Natural package batting is the same product as the roll batting, simply pre-cut to standard quilt sizes for convenience. The fiber content, construction, and loft are identical.

Does Warm & Natural shrink?

Warm & Natural shrinks approximately 3–5% on first washing when not pre-washed. This shrinkage creates the beloved slightly crinkled antique-quilt appearance. Pre-wash to prevent shrinkage if a flat finish is desired.

Can I use Warm & Natural for a longarm quilt?

Yes — Warm & Natural is widely used on longarms. The scrim provides stability during loading. Recommended maximum stitch spacing is 10" — easily achieved with most all-over quilting designs.

Is Warm & Natural hypoallergenic?

Warm & Natural is 100% cotton with no chemical treatments for whitening. Sensitive individuals who prefer natural fibers and minimal processing often prefer Warm & Natural over bleached or treated batting alternatives.
