Hobbs Poly 20oz 96in Wide Batting Roll
The Hobbs Poly 20oz 96" Wide Batting Roll is Hobbs’s most extreme loft polyester batting — a 20oz ultra-heavy batting designed for the absolute maximum dimensional impact in a quilted project. At 20oz, this is significantly thicker than even the 16oz batting, creating an extraordinarily puffy quilt surface where quilting designs appear dramatically embossed and every unquilted area rises to impressive heights.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is 20oz batting used for?
- 20oz is a specialty batting for projects where maximum possible loft and visual impact are the primary goals — showpiece quilts, quilted wall hangings where dramatic texture creates visual interest, and products like quilted pillow shams or decorative items where the thick, cloud-like appearance is the design intent.
- Can longarm machines quilt through 20oz batting?
- 20oz batting is extremely thick and may exceed the capacity of some longarm machines. Check your machine’s maximum batting thickness specification before attempting. Many quilters use 20oz on domestic machines for better control of the thick sandwich.
- What stitch spacing is recommended?
- Dense stitching (2–3") creates the most dramatic raised-and-recessed dimensional effect with heavy batting. Consult Hobbs specific recommendations for 20oz batting.
- Is 20oz more than I need for a standard bed quilt?
- For most standard bed quilts, 9oz or 12oz polyester is sufficient. 20oz is a specialty weight for specific applications where extreme loft is an explicit design goal, not a general-purpose batting choice.
- Does 20oz polyester wash and maintain its loft?
- Polyester maintains its loft through washing better than cotton. Wash gentle and dry on low heat to preserve the maximum loft of heavy polyester battings.
