Frequently Asked Questions

- Is this appropriate for longarm production use?
- Yes — Tuscany Silk needles cleanly on longarms. Load with slightly less tension than cotton batting to prevent fiber distortion.
- Who requests silk batting?
- High-end commission quilters, boutique studios making luxury quilts, and clients specifically requesting silk for its unique properties.
- What stitch spacing is required?
- Check current Hobbs specifications. Silk typically requires closer quilting than cotton due to fiber migration potential.

- Hand wash or delicate machine wash, cool water, air dry flat. Avoid high heat.
