6oz vs 9oz vs 16oz: which polyester do I need?

6oz is about 1/4" loft and machine quilts easily. 9oz (this roll) is about 1/2" for puffier comforters and still quilts on a frame. 16oz is about 1" and is for tied comforters.

Why does the roll look thin when it arrives?

Hobbs polyester is vacuum-compressed for shipping. Unbag it and let it rest for one to two weeks and it will recover its full loft.

Can I machine quilt high-loft polyester?

Yes, on a longarm or a domestic machine with a walking foot, quilting 4-6" apart. Very high lofts (12oz and 16oz) are usually tied or quilted on a frame rather than fed through a domestic machine.

96" vs 108" vs 120": which width for my quilt?

Pick a batting at least 4" wider than the shorter side of your quilt top. A queen top (about 90" x 108") fits a 96" roll with the 108" running along the roll. A king top (108" to 120" wide) does not fit a 96" roll in one piece; use a 120" roll.

Do you ship batting rolls to Alaska or Hawaii?

No. Rolls and boards 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.

Do I need to pre-wash this batting?

No. Polyester does not shrink, so the finished quilt keeps its size and shape. Pre-washing is not recommended for any Hobbs batting.

Hobbs 9oz Polyester is a high-loft batting for projects where you want warmth, body and a soft, puffy finish: puffy comforters, tied quilts and trapunto. The 96" x 25 yard roll is 100% polyester, so it does not shrink and the finished piece keeps its size and shape.

Important: this batting ships tightly compressed. Open the bag and let it relax for one to two weeks before use so it reaches its full 1/2" loft.
