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 93" wide by 30 yards. A queen top (about 90" x 108") fits with the 108" running along the roll, so the roll covers queen and everything smaller: full, twin, throw and crib. King tops need the 120" roll.
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
- Will the 93" roll cover a king quilt?
- Not in one piece. A king top runs 108" to 120" wide, so it does not fit across a 93" roll. The 93" roll covers queen (about 90" x 108", with the 108" running along the roll) and everything smaller. For king tops use the 120" roll. 120" 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
