Description
Quilters Dream Puff on the roll, for longarm studios and production sewers who make comforters, tied quilts, trapunto work and puffy baby quilts by the yard. Puff is a high-loft, thermally bonded polyester microfiber: lighter than a feather and warmer than down, with a resilient 1/3" to 1/2" loft that adds volume and definition without weight. Each roll is 120" wide by 20 yards. The 120" width is the king roll: it covers king tops in one piece and cuts queen, full and twin batts sideways with little waste, around six king comforters per 20-yard roll.
Dream Puff is 100% fine-denier polyester microfiber that is thermally bonded and sealed rather than needle-punched: heat fuses the fibers where they touch, with no chemical resin binders, which gives a light, airy batting that springs back. The loft is 1/3" to 1/2" and the warmth is remarkable for the weight: Quilters Dream rates it 1.5 times warmer than down and nearly twice as warm as high-loft polyester. Quilt up to 10" apart; needles glide through the silky fibers, and it is good for hand and machine quilting. It will not shrink and resists creases and fold lines. Machine wash and dry the finished quilt on cool settings. Do not iron, dry clean or compress it with heat, which would flatten the loft.
This roll is a pre-order item and ships in roughly 8 weeks.

Compare and choose
- Do I need the 120" roll for a king comforter?
- Yes. A king top runs about 120" x 120", and the 93" roll is not wide enough in one piece. The 120" roll also cuts queen, full and twin batts sideways with less waste.
- Roll or pre-cut package: which Puff format should I buy?
- The roll is the lowest cost per yard if you make comforters or puffy quilts regularly. The pre-cut package is one batt sized for one quilt, Craft to King, and ships without the roll lead time. Dream Puff package
- Dream Puff vs Hobbs Poly-Down: which high-loft polyester?
- Both are lofty, no-shrink polyester battings. Dream Puff is thermally bonded, about 1/3" to 1/2" thick, very light for its warmth, and quilts up to 10" apart. Poly-Down is a bonded polyester with a slightly lower, down-like loft and a 4" quilting distance. Choose Puff for comforters, tied quilts and trapunto; Poly-Down for a softer everyday quilt that is still puffy. Hobbs Poly-Down package
- Can I use Dream Puff for trapunto?
- Yes, it is one of the best battings for it. Layer Puff behind the motif you want raised, or double it for more height, then quilt with a flatter batting such as Dream Poly or Dream Cotton for the rest of the quilt. Quilters Dream also suggests layering Puff with any of its needle-punched battings for extra loft. Request Poly package (a flat partner)
- Can I quilt Dream Puff on a longarm or does it have to be tied?
- Both work. Puff quilts beautifully on a longarm or domestic machine and the loft makes the quilting lines stand out; keep stitching within 10". Tied comforters are the classic use because the loft shows most when the quilt is not stitched densely.
- How do I wash a quilt made with Dream Puff?
- Machine wash and dry on cool settings. Heat is the enemy of the loft: do not iron, dry clean or press it, and do not store it compressed under heavy items. Puff does not shrink, so do not pre-wash.
- Can I use Dream Puff for microwave bowl cozies or hot pads?
- No. It is polyester and will melt or scorch in a microwave. Use 100% cotton batting with no scrim, or Pellon Wrap-N-Zap, with cotton fabric and cotton thread. Pellon Wrap-N-Zap
- 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. Shop packaged batting
