Description
Quilters Dream Select White Cotton is the bleached version of Dream Cotton: 100% cotton, no scrim, no resin, no glue. Buy it when the quilt top is white, cream or pastel, where an unbleached batting can shadow through and dull the fabric. Select is the mid loft, the same weight as the natural Select package.
Pick the package by your finished top: Craft 36" x 46", Crib 46" x 60", Throw 60" x 60", Twin 72" x 93", Double 93" x 96", Queen 93" x 108", Super Queen 93" x 121" or King 120" x 122". Each package is one piece of batting, so choose the size at least 4" larger than the top on each side. A package is the easy way to try a Dream batting before committing to a roll.
It quilts by hand or machine, drapes softly and can be stitched up to 8" apart. Shrinkage is minimal and pre-washing is not recommended. With no scrim or polyester it is microwave-safe when used with cotton fabric and cotton thread.

Compare and choose
- White or natural Dream Cotton: do I really need the white?
- Only under light fabrics. Natural Dream Cotton is fine under most prints, but under white, cream or pastel tops its faint tan tone can show through. Select White is the same batting, bleached. For medium and dark tops, buy the natural package and save a little. Select Natural Cotton packages
- Dream Select White vs Warm & White: what is the difference?
- Warm & White has a scrim, so it is firmer and flatter and quilts up to 10" apart. Dream Select White has no scrim: softer, more drape, easier hand needling, quilted within 8". Choose Warm & White for wall hangings and wide spacing; choose Dream White for a soft bed quilt. Warm & White packages
- Select White vs Request White Cotton: which loft?
- Request is the thinnest loft in the line and gives a very flat, antique look. Select is the mid loft with a little more body and warmth and is the better all-round choice for bed quilts. Request White Cotton packages
- Which package size do I need?
- Choose the package at least 4" larger than your top on every side. Queen (93" x 108") covers a standard 90" x 108" top; a wider queen or a king needs the Super Queen (93" x 121") or King (120" x 122") package.
- Is it microwave-safe?
- Yes. Select White Cotton is 100% cotton with no scrim, resin or polyester, so it is microwave-safe when the whole project uses cotton fabric and cotton thread.
- Do I need to pre-wash it?
- No. Shrinkage is minimal and Quilters Dream does not recommend pre-washing.
