Frequently Asked Questions

What batting width do I need for longarm quilting?

Longarm quilting typically requires batting that is at least 6–8” wider than the quilt top on all sides. For a standard queen-size quilt top of 90” x 108”, you’d want batting approximately 96” wide or wider. Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 is available in 96” and 120” wide rolls — the 120” covering king-size quilts with ease.

What is the loft of Hobbs 80/20 batting?

Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 has a low-to-medium loft — it lies flat enough to show quilting detail beautifully while still providing warmth and softness. This loft level is the most popular choice for heirloom quilts and competition quilts where design visibility matters.

How do I choose between cotton, polyester, and blended batting?

Cotton batting drapes softly and breathes naturally but can shrink slightly and requires closer quilting lines. Polyester is lightweight, non-shrinking, and washes easily. Blends like 80/20 give you the best of both — the natural feel of cotton with the stability and ease of polyester.
