Frequently Asked Questions
- Does cotton batting with scrim shrink after washing?
- Expect approximately 3–5% initial shrinkage on the first wash with natural cotton batting, creating the characteristic slight puckering of a cotton quilt. The scrim minimizes distortion but does not eliminate natural fiber shrinkage.
- Is this batting good for longarm quilting?
- Yes — the scrim provides excellent stability for longarm quilting at production speeds. The cotton needles well and produces minimal lint compared to some other natural fiber battings.
- How far apart can I quilt with a scrimmed cotton batting?
- Scrimmed cotton can typically be quilted up to 4–6 inches apart. Check the specific Pellon product guidelines for this batting’s maximum quilting distance recommendation.
- Is the natural cotton color visible through light-colored fabric?
- Natural cotton has a warm off-white tone. On very thin or white fabrics it may add a slight warmth, which most quilters find desirable for a natural, organic look. For bright white quilts, use bleached white cotton batting instead.
- How do I store unused king batting?
- Store folded in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight. Many quilters store large batting pieces in a breathable cotton bag or pillowcase to allow airflow while protecting from dust and pests.
