Use 6oz or 9oz for lighter, flatter quilts and 20oz for maximum warmth and puff.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCan I machine quilt through 20oz polyester batting on a longarm?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes, but needle penetration requires more force through the thicker fill. Use a sharp needle (size 18 or larger), reduce speed slightly, and ensure your machine is properly tensioned. Quilting lines spaced further apart work better with high-loft batting.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWill 20oz batting beard or migrate through the quilt top?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eHobbs polyester battings are bonded to resist bearding. With normal use and proper quilting density, bearding should be minimal. Avoid very open quilting designs with spacing greater than 6–8 inches.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs 20oz batting suitable for hand quilting?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e20oz is a very thick batting that is difficult to hand quilt through. This weight is best suited for machine quilting, tying, or comforter-style construction rather than traditional hand quilting.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhat thread weight works best with high-loft batting?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eA heavier thread like 40wt or 30wt polyester shows up nicely against the thick loft. Fine thread can sink into the batting and be less visible — use decorative thread if you want the quilting design to be prominent.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/battingcompany.com\/collections\/hobbs-poly-20oz-96-wide-batting-roll.oembed","provider":"The Batting Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
