At 120\" wide, the roll accommodates the full width of standard king-size quilts and wide-back quilt tops without requiring batting piecing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTop 10 Questions About Hobbs Heirloom 80\/20 120in Wide Batting Roll\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhy is 120\" wide batting important for king quilt production?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eStandard king-size quilt tops are typically 100\"–120\" wide. A 120\" wide batting roll accommodates the full king size without requiring batting piecing — a significant time-saver in production studios. Piecing batting adds loading time and a seam that can create a visible ridge in the finished quilt.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhat is Hobbs Heirloom 80\/20?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e80% natural cotton and 20% polyester — Hobbs’ most popular and widely used batting blend. The cotton provides natural breathability, drape, and the characteristic vintage crinkle after washing that customers love. The 20% polyester improves loft retention and reduces shrinkage compared to 100% cotton.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eHow does the 30-yard roll optimize king quilt production?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eA standard king quilt requires approximately 3.5 yards of batting length. At 30 yards, the roll provides approximately 8–9 king quilts before reordering — suitable for a moderate-to-high-production studio.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs Hobbs Heirloom 80\/20 the most used batting in the longarm industry?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eHobbs Heirloom 80\/20 is consistently one of the top two or three most used battings in the longarm industry alongside Hobbs Tuscany and Quilters Dream products. Many studios use it as their standard offering for customer quilts.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhat stitch distance does Hobbs Heirloom 80\/20 allow?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eHobbs recommends a minimum quilting distance of 4\" apart for Heirloom 80\/20 (stitching lines should be no more than 4\" apart). Always check current Hobbs recommendations as specifications can be updated.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDoes 80\/20 shrink after washing?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eSome shrinkage is normal — typically 3–5% after the first wash. This shrinkage creates the beloved vintage crinkle characteristic of cotton-batting quilts. The 20% polyester reduces shrinkage compared to 100% cotton batting.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs Hobbs Heirloom 80\/20 appropriate for hand quilting?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes — Hobbs Heirloom battings are designed for both hand and machine quilting. The cotton content provides the hand-needle-friendly quality preferred by hand quilters.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eShould I pre-wash Hobbs Heirloom 80\/20 before use?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eNo pre-washing is required or recommended. Load and use the batting directly from the roll. The first customer wash will produce any shrinkage, creating the characteristic finished look.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eHow does the 120\" roll compare to a 96\" roll for studio efficiency?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eFor studios producing a significant proportion of king quilts, the 120\" roll is more efficient — no batting piecing is required. For studios primarily producing queen, throw, and lap quilts, the 96\" roll accommodates those sizes without excess width waste.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhat is the best way to store a 30-yard batting roll?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eStore horizontally on a roll rack or vertically on a stand away from direct sunlight and moisture. Many studios hang batting rolls from wall-mounted dowels for easy dispensing. Keep away from heat sources to prevent any degradation of the polyester component.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Uses for Hobbs Heirloom 80\/20 120in Wide Batting Roll\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing-size quilt production without batting piecing for maximum efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide-back quilt formats requiring full 120\" batting width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard production batting for longarm studios offering 80\/20 as a customer option\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeirloom bed quilts where the vintage cotton-crinkle quality is desired\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustomer quilts where 80\/20 is the specified or most popular batting choice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudio inventory staple for studios with high king-size production volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium batting upsell over standard polyester for customers preferring natural fiber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny application requiring the quality and reliability of the industry-standard Hobbs Heirloom 80\/20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"hobbs-heirloom-80-20-120-wide-batting-roll","title":"Hobbs Heirloom 80\/20 120\" Wide Batting Roll - 30 Yards","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"prod-detail-desc\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHobbs Heirloom Premium 80\/20 in the extra-wide 120\" format is built for longarm quilters working on oversized and king-size tops that need full coverage in a single pass.
