Description
Quilters Dream Select White 80/20 is the bleached version of Dream 80/20: 80% long-staple bleached white cotton with 20% fine denier polyester microfibers, and no scrim, resin or binder. Buy it for white, cream and pastel tops where a natural batting would shadow through. Select is the mid loft, lightweight and the one most quilters want for everyday bed quilts.
Each roll is 120" wide by 30 yards. It is the width for king tops in one piece, and it also cuts queen, full and twin batts sideways with less waste than a narrower roll. If you rarely quilt kings, the 93" roll of Select White 80/20 is the more economical choice.
It suits hand and machine quilting, drapes smoothly, shows stitch definition well and can be quilted up to 8" apart. Shrinkage is minimal and there is no need to pre-wash. It is not microwave-safe because of the polyester content.
This roll is sold on pre-order and ships in roughly 8 weeks.

Compare and choose
- White or natural 80/20: do I need the white?
- Only under light fabrics. The natural 80/20 is fine under most prints, but under white, cream or pastel tops its tan tone can show through. Select White 80/20 is the same batting made with bleached cotton. For medium and dark tops, buy the natural roll. Select Natural 80/20 roll
- Dream White 80/20 vs Hobbs Bleached 80/20: which should I buy?
- Both are bleached 80/20 blends without scrim. Hobbs Heirloom Bleached is lightly resin-bonded, shrinks 3-5% and wants quilting within 4"; it comes on a 108" roll. Dream White 80/20 has no resin, shrinks minimally and can be quilted up to 8" apart. Choose Hobbs for the classic crinkle and a lower roll price; choose Dream for open quilting and a flatter finish. Hobbs Heirloom Bleached 80/20 108" roll
- White 80/20 vs Select White Cotton: blend or pure cotton?
- Select White Cotton is 100% cotton with a denser, more traditional hand and is microwave-safe with cotton thread. The White 80/20 is a little lighter and springier, resists wrinkles and dries faster. Both are bleached, scrim-free and quilt up to 8" apart. Select White Cotton roll
- Do I need the 120" roll, or is 93" enough?
- Buy 120" if you quilt king tops, which are 108" to 120" wide and will not fit across a 93" roll. If your biggest quilts are queen, the 93" roll of the same batting covers them with less waste and a lower price per roll. The 120" roll also cuts queen and twin batts sideways, which some longarmers prefer for production work. 93" roll
- Do I need to pre-wash it?
- No. Shrinkage is minimal, so there is no need to pre-wash and the finished quilt stays close to its quilted size.
- 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
