Very nice presentation. I especially liked the 5 questions to answer in determining which batting to use.
Thank you so much for all this information.
Thanks a lot for this very useful tutorial! 🌸🌸
Great information - is very helpful.
Thank you so much, excellent description of all the types of battings Hobbs has and where/when to use each!
Very helpful. Thank you very much for taking the time to do this for us.
This is great! Sharing with my Guild.
I am planning on making a quilted tablecloth for seniors playing bridge. It makes it easier to pick up the cards but they also have a glass of water on the tablecloth.
For the purpose of large bed quilts, what would you recommend?
can you use fusible batting on a wool quilt top
Do you lay the scrim to the back or toward the quilt top?
Hobbs batting does not have a right or wrong side. It can be laid either way:)
what would you recommend for a bedspread, or bed quilt? I love a nice loft but not sure what kind to buy. wool, cotton, or poly.
The more cost effective option would be polydown or cloudloft for a very lofty quilt. If you just want a little loft, you could use Cotton/Wool or Wool. If you want a heavier feeling quilt with loft, you could use Cotton Supreme with a polydown or wool on top. It would give you the weight and loft at the same time.
What do you recommend for a Christmas Tree skirt that I want to be heirloom quality?
We recommend you use two layers of batting for a tree skirt. The bottom layer would be Linda's Choice by Hobbs. It is a heavy 100% cotton batting with scrim. The weight of it gives a tree skirt stability and keeps it flat. The top layer would be wool. Wool is a natural fiber that does not have a memory for creases so you can fold the tree skirt up over and over again each year and it will remain mostly crease free:) Also wool gives a quilt loft and definition!

What is the best batting to use for landscape wall hangings
Susan, We would recommend Linda's Choice Batting for any type of wall hanging:) www.longarmsupplies.net/search.aspx?find=lindas+choice
Can I double the 80/20 batting so that the quilt is loftier? The quilt is for a child and I love loft.
Of course! We love doubling up on batting!
what about quilting other projects like wall hangings or table runners?
You can use Linda's Choice Batting for wall hangings. You can use Thermore for table runners or even regular batting would work okay.
Question: would the thermore work in a vest? It looks a little stiff.
Yes it would. It would help keep the shape better then regular batting.
Thank you! I’ll be working on vests in the fall
which batting should i use for a throw quilt? Thank you.
You can really use any of them. Most people use 80/20 Heirloom Blend. I like the 80/20 Cotton Wool for a little more loft and softest. However all the battings would work.
What batting should I use for a crib size quilt?
You can use the crib size 80/20 we sell of the crib size Tuscany cotton we sell at www.longarmsupplies.net
Can the 80/20 batting be washed and dried before starting the quilting?
No you wouldn't want to prewash batting.
