Description
Pellon white cotton batting with scrim in an 81" x 96" full package covers a full or double bed quilt in one piece, with enough length for a twin XL as well. It is bleached white so it disappears under light tops. For a queen, use the 90" x 108" queen package.
Bleached cotton is the right choice under white and light tops, where the flecks in natural batting can shadow through. The batting is needle-punched onto a soft scrim that adds strength and stability without bunching or bearding, so you can quilt up to 10" apart. It is a low 1/16" loft that shrinks 3-5% in the first wash for a soft, lightly crinkled finish. Washable by hand or machine and dry cleanable.
Packages arrive folded and ship to you directly from Pellon; unfold and let the batting relax before layering.

Compare and choose
- Full or queen: which package do I need?
- A full top up to about 77" x 92" fits the 81" x 96" piece. Queen tops run 84" x 96" to 90" x 108" and need the 90" x 108" queen package. Pellon White Cotton with Scrim queen package
- White or natural cotton with scrim: which do I need?
- They are the same Pellon batting; the white version is bleached. Natural (unbleached) is fine under most fabrics, but under white, cream or pastel tops its tiny cotton flecks can shadow through. Choose white for light quilts and natural for everything else. Pellon Natural Cotton with Scrim queen package
- Pellon white cotton with scrim vs Hobbs Tuscany bleached cotton?
- Hobbs Tuscany bleached cotton is a Linda's stocked, no-scrim 100% cotton with a loftier, softer hand and a 4" quilting distance. Pellon white cotton with scrim is thinner, firmer and quilts up to 10" apart. Choose Pellon for wide quilting and a flat finish; choose Tuscany for a softer, hand-quilting-friendly batting. Hobbs Tuscany 100% Bleached Cotton package
- Do I need to pre-wash this batting?
- No. Expect 3-5% shrinkage in the first wash of the finished quilt, which gives the soft, slightly crinkled look most quilters want from cotton. If you want a quilt that stays perfectly flat, pre-wash the batting gently by soaking, or choose a polyester batting with 0-3% shrinkage.
- How far apart can I quilt it?
- Up to 10" apart, because the scrim holds the cotton fibers in place. That is wide enough for simple edge-to-edge designs, big-stitch hand quilting and even tying, though closer quilting always gives a more durable quilt.
- Can I use this cotton batting for microwave bowl cozies?
- No. The 7% polypropylene scrim is a synthetic that can melt in the microwave. Use Pellon Wrap-N-Zap, which is 100% natural cotton with no scrim, and sew it with cotton thread. Pellon Wrap-N-Zap 45" x 1 yd package
