Description
This is Katahdin Premium Summer batting, a lightweight 3 oz 100% cotton, cut into a continuous 2-1/2" strip 25 yards long. It is triple-carded and needle-punched with no scrims or resins, and it is extremely stable, so it can be stitched up to 8" apart.
The 2-1/2" width matches standard jelly-roll fabric strips, so you can wrap or sew strips for jelly-roll rugs, coiled baskets and table runners without cutting batting yourself. It is white and needs no pre-shrinking.
Need more length? The White Katahdin 2-1/2" is the same width on a 50-yard roll, and a 2-1/4" x 50 yd roll is available for narrower strip patterns.

Compare and choose
- How many jelly-roll strips does one 25-yard roll cover?
- 25 yards is 900" of strip. Fabric jelly-roll strips are cut across the width of fabric, about 42"-44" long, so one roll covers roughly 20-21 strips, or about half of a standard 40-strip jelly roll. For a full jelly roll, buy two rolls or the 50-yard roll. White Katahdin 2-1/2" x 50 yd
- Katahdin cotton strips vs 80/20 jelly-roll strips: which should I use?
- Katahdin is 100% cotton with no scrim, so it is the choice for natural-fiber projects and microwave-safe pieces. The 80/20 cotton/poly strip has a scrim and polyester, making it a bit tougher and very washable, but it is not for the microwave. 80/20 jelly-roll strip 2.5" x 25 yd
- Can I use these strips for microwave bowl cozies or coasters?
- Yes, as long as the fabric and thread are also 100% cotton and there is no metallic trim: this is 100% cotton with no scrim or resin. Do not microwave projects made with polyester, fusible or foam strips.
- 2-1/2" or 2-1/4" strips: which width do I need?
- Match the width your pattern calls for. 2-1/2" matches standard jelly-roll fabric strips; some rug and bag patterns are written for 2-1/4" so the fabric wraps the batting with a little more overlap. White Katahdin 2-1/4" x 50 yd
- Do I need to pre-shrink cotton batting strips?
- No. Katahdin needs no pre-shrinking.
