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 in the line, the same weight as the natural Select roll.
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 Cotton is the more economical choice.
It quilts by hand or machine, drapes softly and can be stitched as closely as you like or 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.
This roll is sold on pre-order and ships in roughly 8 weeks.

Compare and choose
- White or natural Dream Cotton: do I really need the white?
- Only under light fabrics. Natural Dream Cotton is unbleached and fine under most prints, but under white, cream or pale pastel tops its faint tan tone can shadow through. Select White is the same batting, bleached, so whites stay white. If your tops are mostly medium or dark, buy the natural roll and save a little. Select Natural Cotton 93" roll
- Dream Select White Cotton vs Warm & White: what is the difference?
- Warm & White is bleached needle-punched cotton with a scrim, so it is firmer, flatter and can be quilted up to 10" apart. Dream Select White has no scrim: softer hand, 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 90" x 40 yd roll
- Select White vs Request White Cotton: which loft?
- Request is the thinnest loft in the Dream Cotton line; Select is the mid loft. Request gives a very flat, antique look and is the lightest to hand quilt. Select adds a little more body and warmth and is the better all-round choice for bed quilts. Request 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. Quilters Dream does not recommend pre-washing. Shrinkage is minimal, so expect only a light crinkle after the first wash.
- Can I use it for microwave bowl cozies?
- 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 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
