Frequently Asked Questions

What does 50% more cotton actually feel like?

Noticeably higher loft, more warmth, and a plusher hand — the most luxurious natural cotton in the Warm Company line, without any scrim interrupting the fiber.

Why is it a hand quilter's batting?

Scrim-free thick cotton needles like a cloud — minimal resistance, beautiful even stitches. The scrim in other battings is exactly what hand quilters feel and dislike.

Why the tight 2–3" quilting distance?

No scrim means the fibers rely on quilting to stay put — close lines keep the thick batting stable for the quilt's lifetime.

Can it go on a longarm?

Better not — scrim-free high loft is vulnerable under frame tension. The 90" Warm & Plush roll exists for careful longarm use, but scrim battings are the production-safe choice.

What projects justify it?

Heirloom hand-quilted pieces, cold-climate bed quilts, and gifts where the recipient will feel the difference immediately.
