Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Black Cotton Blend Queen Quilt Batting – 90" x 108"
Create rich, polished dark quilts with Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Black Cotton Blend Batting. This Queen-size 90" x 108" pre-cut quilt batting combines 80% dyed cotton with 20% polyester and is specifically recommended for quilts made with black, navy, and other dark-colored fabrics.
Using black batting beneath dark fabrics helps prevent light-colored batting fibers and lint from becoming noticeable on the quilt top during quilting. The dark batting color also complements deep fabric colors, making it an excellent choice for black quilts, navy quilts, dark backgrounds, jewel tones, and other projects where natural or white batting may be more visible.
Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Black is manufactured in the same manner as the Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Natural blend while using dyed cotton fibers to better coordinate with dark quilt fabrics.
With an approximate 1/8" loft, this cotton-rich batting provides comfortable quilted dimension without excessive bulk. The 80% cotton / 20% polyester blend combines the familiar characteristics of cotton with the added resilience of polyester for dependable quilting performance.
Quilting stitches can be spaced up to 4 inches apart, providing flexibility for a variety of quilting patterns. Expected shrinkage is approximately 3–5%, which can help create the softly textured, gently puckered appearance many quilters enjoy after laundering.
At 90" x 108", this convenient Queen-size package provides ready-to-use batting for appropriately sized quilts without requiring you to cut batting from a larger roll.
