Description
Pellon 80/20 Cotton/Polyester with Scrim is a low-loft blend batting for quilters who want the flat, traditional look of cotton with a little more strength and less shrinkage than pure cotton. This 90" x 6 yard bolt is the small-studio format: 216" of 90"-wide batting, enough for two queen tops or three twins, at a lower cost per yard than the pre-cut packages. Cut what each quilt needs and store the rest on the bolt.
The batting is needle-punched through a soft scrim, which is what lets it be quilted up to 10" apart without bunching or bearding. Loft is 1/16", so quilting shows as texture rather than puff, and the blend shrinks 3-5% in the first wash for a gently crinkled finish. It runs through a longarm, a domestic machine or a hand-quilting hoop without complaint.
Rolls and bolts ship only to the 48 contiguous states.

Cut lengths run along the 216" bolt; width is fixed at 90". Twin and throw cuts are turned so their longer side runs across the width. Counts are approximate and assume no waste.
Compare and choose
- How many quilts will a 6 yard bolt make?
- The bolt is 90" wide and 216" long. Cutting along the length you get two queen cuts (90" x 108"), two full cuts (81" x 96"), three twin cuts with the 90" side across the bolt, or three throw cuts. King tops need 120" of width and do not fit; buy the king package for those. Pellon 80/20 king package
- Bolt or pre-cut package?
- One quilt: buy the package in the right size. Two or more: the bolt costs less per yard and lets you cut odd sizes, such as a long table runner or a twin XL. The trade-off is that bolts ship only to the 48 contiguous states, while packages ship anywhere. Pellon 80/20 queen package
- Pellon 80/20 vs Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 on a roll: which should I buy?
- Both are 80/20 cotton-poly, needle-punched, 3-5% shrinkage. Pellon has a scrim, which stabilizes it on a longarm frame and allows quilting up to 10" apart; Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 has no scrim, is a little loftier, and should be quilted within 4". Hobbs comes on 96" and 120" rolls of 30 yards, so for a longarm business it is the bigger commitment; the Pellon 6 yard bolt is the easier starting point. Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 96" roll
- Is 90" wide enough for a queen quilt?
- For most queen tops, yes. Batting should be at least 4" wider than the top on each side, so a 90" bolt handles tops up to about 82" to 86" across with the 108" length running along the bolt. Wider queens and all kings need the 120" x 120" king package. Pellon 80/20 king package
- Do I need to pre-wash this batting?
- No. Use it from the bolt and expect 3-5% shrinkage in the first wash, which gives the soft, crinkled finish most bed quilts are after. The scrim keeps it from distorting in the washer.
- Do you ship bolts to Alaska, Hawaii or overseas?
- No. Rolls and bolts ship only to the 48 contiguous states. If you are outside that area, the pre-cut packages of the same batting ship to all locations. Shop packaged batting
