The Hobbs Heirloom Premium 80/20 Black Cotton Blend Batting is a top choice for quilts crafted with black or dark-colored fabrics, offering benefits such as:
- Utilization of color-fast, dyed cotton fibers for maintaining true fabric colors
- Prevention of light fiber lint on the quilt top during the quilting process
This versatile batting is suitable for both hand and machine quilting. Close quilting results in a flat, low-loft appearance, while increased spacing between stitching lines produces a slightly higher loft. Quilting or stitching is recommended every 4 inches or closer, and a 3-5% shrinkage may be experienced.
