Hobbs Batting Package Sampler – Heirloom® Bleached 80/20 + Poly-Down Queen Batting

Compare two distinctly different Hobbs quilt battings with the Hobbs Batting Package Sampler, featuring one Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Bleached Queen Batting and one Hobbs Poly-Down Queen Batting.

Compare their loft, drape, texture, handling, and finished appearance to discover which batting works best for different types of quilts.

What batting is included in the Hobbs Batting Package Sampler?
This bundle includes Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Bleached Queen Batting and Hobbs Poly-Down Queen Batting.

What is the difference between Hobbs Heirloom® 80/20 and Poly-Down batting?
The primary difference is fiber content and resulting batting characteristics. Heirloom® 80/20 Bleached contains 80% bleached cotton and 20% polyester, while Poly-Down is a polyester batting. This allows you to compare the feel, loft, drape, texture, and finished appearance of cotton-rich and polyester batting.

Why choose Hobbs Heirloom® 80/20 Bleached batting?
The bleached 80/20 batting is particularly useful for white, pastel, and very light-colored quilt tops. Its lighter color helps reduce the visual influence that natural unbleached batting can have beneath light fabrics.

Why choose Hobbs Poly-Down batting?
Poly-Down gives quilters a 100% polyester batting option and is a useful choice when you want to explore the loft, drape, and dimensional appearance associated with polyester batting.

Which batting has a more traditional cotton-rich feel?
The Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Bleached is the cotton-rich option in this sampler, containing 80% bleached cotton and 20% polyester.

Which batting should I use for a white quilt?
Of the two included options, Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Bleached is specifically recommended for white and very light-colored quilt tops.

Is this sampler good for longarm quilters?
Yes. It provides longarm quilters with an opportunity to work with two different batting fiber constructions and see how each affects the quilting process and finished project.

Is this batting sampler good for new quilters?
Yes. It provides a practical way to learn how batting choice can affect a quilt's loft, drape, texture, and overall finished appearance.

Why compare batting using actual quilt projects?
Batting can feel and perform differently once it is layered, quilted, and finished. Using each batting in a project allows you to directly compare characteristics that can be difficult to judge from batting samples alone.

Are these full-size batting packages or small samples?
These are Queen-size batting packages, not small swatches, allowing you to experience each batting in an actual quilting project.

Who is this Hobbs batting sampler best for?
This bundle is ideal for home quilters, longarm quilters, quilting studios, and makers who want to compare cotton-rich and polyester batting before choosing a preferred style for future projects.

Two Hobbs battings. Two different fiber constructions. One convenient way to discover which batting works best for your quilts.
