{"title":"Hobbs Poly 16oz 96in Wide Batting Roll","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eHobbs Poly 16oz 96\" Wide Batting Roll\u003c\/strong\u003e is a mid-weight 100% polyester batting providing moderate loft and excellent drape for longarm quilt production. At 16oz weight and 96\" wide, this is a versatile production polyester that sits between the lighter standard polyester and the high-loft 20oz format — the ideal choice for customer quilts where a firmer, more defined quilting appearance is preferred over flat low-loft polyester.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTop 10 Questions About Hobbs Poly 16oz 96in Wide Roll\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhat does 16oz polyester batting mean?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e16oz refers to the weight per square yard of the batting — heavier than standard 6oz–8oz polyester and lighter than high-loft 20oz. Heavier polyester batting has more fiber fill, producing more loft and a plumper finished quilt than lighter polyester.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs 16oz polyester appropriate for machine quilting?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes — 16oz polyester works well for longarm and domestic machine quilting. The additional loft compared to lighter polyester creates more visible quilting texture and a plumper finished quilt.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eHow does 16oz compare to standard low-loft polyester?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eStandard production polyester is typically 6oz–8oz with minimal loft. 16oz provides noticeably more body and loft, resulting in a quilt that is visibly plumper and softer than quilts made with lower-weight polyester.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs 16oz polyester appropriate for bed quilts?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes — 16oz polyester provides good warmth and loft for bed quilts. Polyester is non-allergenic, consistent in loft through washing, and doesn’t require pre-washing.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDoes 16oz polyester shrink after washing?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eNo — polyester batting does not shrink. The finished quilt maintains consistent size through repeated laundering, which is an advantage over cotton batting for customers who want consistent sizing.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhat stitch distance is appropriate?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eCheck current Hobbs recommendations for Poly 16oz. Polyester batting generally allows greater stitch distance than cotton, but always follow manufacturer guidance.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs the 96\" width appropriate for queen quilts?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e96\" accommodates queen quilts with standard loading overlap. For king quilts requiring more than 96\" width, a 120\" batting would be needed.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs 16oz polyester a good upsell over standard thin polyester?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes — 16oz provides a noticeably fuller, higher-quality finished quilt compared to thin standard polyester. It is an easy upsell for customers who want a plumper quilt without the cost of cotton or wool batting.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eHow does 16oz compare to Hobbs Poly 20oz?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e20oz is even higher loft and plumper; 16oz provides good loft with slightly less extreme bulk. Studios offering both can match the right weight to each customer’s preference for final quilt thickness.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs roll format economical for production?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes — roll format provides better per-yard economy than packaged batting and allows exact yardage cutting for each quilt without waste.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Uses for Hobbs Poly 16oz 96in Wide Roll\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustomer bed quilts requiring moderate-to-high loft polyester batting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuilts for customers preferring plumper loft without cotton or wool cost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShow quilts where higher loft enhances visual definition of quilting designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGift quilts where a plumper, softer feel is desired over thin standard polyester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudios offering tiered polyester options (standard\/16oz\/20oz) to meet different customer preferences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDonation quilts where higher loft provides better warmth than thin polyester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustomer upsell from standard thin polyester to 16oz mid-loft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny application where more body and loft than standard polyester is required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"hobbs-poly-16oz-96-wide-batting-roll","title":"Hobbs Poly 16oz 96\" Wide Batting Roll","description":"\u003ch2\u003eHobbs Poly 16oz 96\" Wide Batting Roll\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHobbs Poly 16oz 96\" Wide Batting Roll:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHobbs Polyester batting adds wonderful loft and warmth.
