It is the preferred choice for modern quilts, white-on-white designs, and brightly colored fabric collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What does 108 inches wide mean for my quilting projects?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: At 108 inches wide, this roll covers queen-size quilts comfortably and fits most king-size quilt tops with adequate overhang for longarm loading, reducing the need for batting seams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is bleached batting safe for sensitive skin?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Hobbs processes their batting to remove bleaching residues, and the final product is thoroughly scoured. Most quilters, including those making baby quilts, use bleached batting without issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does the bleached version perform the same as unbleached in the longarm?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, the performance is identical. Both versions are needle-punched 80\/20 blends that feed smoothly through longarm machines and resist bearding and tearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will bleached batting yellow over time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: When stored properly away from light and heat, bleached batting maintains its white appearance for years. Finished quilts should be washed regularly and stored in breathable cotton bags to prevent yellowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is the recommended quilting distance for this batting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Hobbs recommends quilting no more than 4 inches apart. This gives you room for open pantograph designs while keeping the batting stable and lofty over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How many yards of batting do I need for a queen-size quilt?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: A typical queen-size quilt requires approximately 3 yards of 108-inch wide batting, giving you several inches of overhang on all sides for longarm loading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does this batting work for hand quilting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, the cotton content makes it needle-friendly for hand quilting. The low loft allows stitches to sink in cleanly and evenly across the quilt surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use this batting for modern minimalist quilts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Absolutely. The bright white bleached background and low loft make it perfect for modern quilts where negative space and clean lines are part of the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How does this compare to the Hobbs 80\/20 unbleached version?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The only difference is color — bleached is bright white, unbleached is natural cream. Choose bleached for light, white, or bright-colored quilt tops, and unbleached for vintage, reproduction, or warm-toned fabric collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShop the \u003cstrong\u003eHobbs Heirloom Bleached 80\/20 108\" Wide Batting Roll\u003c\/strong\u003e at Linda's Electric Quilters and experience the difference that professional-grade longarm batting makes in your finished quilts.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"hobbs-heirloom-bleached-80-20-108-wide-batting-roll","title":"Hobbs Heirloom Bleached 80\/20 108\" Wide Batting Roll - 30 Yards - AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"prod-detail-desc\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHobbs Heirloom Bleached 80\/20 is the batting to reach for when you are quilting white, pastel, or very light tops.
