Top 10 Questions About Pellon Natural Cotton Crib Package

What is the crib package size used for?: Standard crib quilts (approximately 36" x 52" finished), baby blankets, small wall hangings, and any project in the 45" x 60" range. The package is pre-cut to eliminate batting waste on small projects.
Why choose Natural cotton for baby quilts?: Natural unbleached cotton is a traditional, chemical-free choice for baby quilts. The warm tone works with the cream, natural, and warm-toned fabrics often used in baby quilts. For bright white baby quilts, the White version is more appropriate.
Does Pellon Natural Cotton Crib shrink?: Yes — 100% cotton shrinks 3–5% after first wash, creating the vintage crinkle characteristic of cotton batting.
What is the scrim?: A light needle-punched bonding layer that holds the cotton fibers together during quilting and prevents migration and bearding.
Is this appropriate for longarm quilting?: Yes — load the batting flat across the leader and quilt as normal. The crib size is appropriate for smaller longarm machines or home machines for baby quilts.
Is the package format more economical than by-the-yard?: For individual crib/baby quilts, the package provides pre-cut convenience. For studios producing multiple baby quilts, roll format provides better per-yard economy.
Does it require pre-washing?: No.
What stitch distance is appropriate?: Follow current Pellon recommendations for Natural Cotton batting. Generally, closer quilting is better for cotton batting long-term stability.
Is this appropriate for gift quilts?: Yes — a complete Pellon crib batting package can be included with fabric and pattern as a complete baby quilt gift kit.
