Why three colors of the same batting?

Because batting color shows. Natural is right under most fabrics, but unbleached cotton can shadow through white and pastel tops, and light fibers can lint onto black fabric while you quilt. Stocking bleached and black alongside natural means you never have to turn a client quilt away or compromise on the result.

Which roll do I use for a white or pastel quilt?

The bleached 108" roll. Bleached cotton reads clean under white and pale fabrics where natural batting would show as a faint cream shadow.

When should I use the black roll?

Under black and very dark tops. The cotton is dyed color-fast, so it keeps dark fabrics true and does not shed light lint onto the top during quilting. Do not use it under light fabrics; it will shadow.

Do the three rolls quilt the same?

Yes. All three are Heirloom 80/20 with the same 1/8" loft, 3-5% shrinkage and 4" maximum stitch spacing. Only the color of the cotton changes, so your tension and settings carry over from one roll to the next.

Will any of these rolls cover a king quilt?

No. The 96" and 108" widths handle everything through queen (90" x 108"). A king top is 108" to 120" wide and needs the 120" roll in one piece, or two pieces joined with batting tape.

Do you ship batting rolls to Alaska or Hawaii?

No. Rolls ship only to the 48 contiguous states; orders from Alaska, Hawaii or outside the US are cancelled and refunded. Pre-cut packages ship to all locations.

Three rolls of Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 in the three colors a longarm studio actually needs: one natural 96" x 30-yard roll (HLBY-96), one bleached 108" x 30-yard roll (BHLBY-108) and one black 108" x 30-yard roll (DKHLBY-108). This is the bundle we point new longarmers to when they ask what to stock first. With these three on the rack you can cover nearly any client quilt up to queen size without shadowing a white top or shedding light lint onto a black one.

All three are the same Heirloom 80/20 batting: 80% cotton, 20% polyester, needle-punched for stability, with a soft, breathable, traditional hand and crisp stitch definition. The natural roll suits medium and dark fabrics. The bleached roll uses bleached cotton so it does not shadow through white and pastel tops. The black roll uses color-fast dyed cotton so it keeps dark fabrics true and leaves no light lint on the top.

Please Note: We are unable to ship rolls of batting to Alaska, Hawaii or anywhere outside the 48 contiguous states. If an order comes through from these locations, it will be cancelled and refunded. Sorry for the trouble.
