The unbleached version has a natural cream color that suits vintage and reproduction fabrics beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is bleached batting better for modern quilts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, bleached batting is the preferred choice for modern quilts, white-on-white designs, and quilts with bright or pastel color palettes where a pure white background is essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does the bleaching process weaken the batting fibers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No, Hobbs bleaches the batting using controlled processes that whiten without compromising fiber strength. The needle-punched construction remains fully intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use bleached batting for baby quilts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, Hobbs Heirloom batting is scoured clean and free of harsh chemical residues, making it a safe and popular choice for baby quilts and children's bedding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How does this batting perform on a domestic sewing machine?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: It sews beautifully on domestic machines. The low loft feeds evenly under the presser foot, and the cotton content allows for easy needle penetration with minimal resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What stitch distance do I need for this batting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Quilt within 4 inches for best results. This gives you latitude for both detailed dense designs and more spacious open quilting patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will this batting shift or bunch during quilting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The needle-punched construction significantly reduces shifting during quilting. Proper basting or loading on a longarm frame will keep the batting stable throughout the quilting process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What sizes are available in the bleached package?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Available from crib through king in standard pre-cut sizes, allowing you to select exactly the right size for your current project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does bleached batting shrink more than unbleached?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No, both versions shrink at approximately the same 3–5% rate on the first wash. The shrinkage is from the cotton fiber content, not the bleaching process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this a good batting for wall hangings and art quilts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, the low loft and stable construction make it ideal for wall hangings and art quilts where you need the piece to hang flat and display quilting details clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePick up the \u003cstrong\u003eHobbs Heirloom Bleached 80\/20 Batting Package\u003c\/strong\u003e in your project size at Linda's Electric Quilters — fast shipping and expert batting advice always included.\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.
