Frequently Asked Questions
Which Hobbs batting is best for a beginner longarm quilter?
Hobbs 80/20 Heirloom is the standard recommendation. It’s forgiving to load, quilts smoothly, has excellent beard resistance, and is available at the best price per yard. Nearly every professional longarm quilter started with Hobbs 80/20.
What is the difference between Hobbs Heirloom and Hobbs Tuscany?
Heirloom is Hobbs’s standard line — cotton, poly, and blend batting at production pricing. Tuscany is their premium line using finer fiber and more sophisticated constructions (bleached cotton, wool blends). Tuscany products cost more and are intended for premium show and heirloom applications.
