Frequently Asked Questions

What does chemical-free mean for Quilters Dream?

Quilters Dream uses only mechanical processes — carding and crosslapping — to clean and prepare their fiber. No resins, bleaches, or chemical bonding agents are used. This makes their battings appealing to quilters with sensitivities and to those who prefer natural processes.

Does Quilters Dream batting beard?

Their crosslapped construction provides good beard resistance — better than unprocessed batting, though not quite as strong as resin-bonded battings like Hobbs 80/20. For dark-fabric quilts, either use Hobbs or ensure you’re using a 200+ thread count quilt top.

Is Quilters Dream batting available in roll format?

Select formats are available in rolls — check availability at Linda’s. Most Quilters Dream products are sold in precut package format (crib through king). For high-volume longarm use, Hobbs rolls typically offer better per-yard pricing.
