Quilters Dream Select 70/30 Cotton Poly Batting Queen Roll Longarm
The Quilters Dream SELECT 70/30 Cotton/Poly Batting — Queen Roll is Quilters Dream’s mid-weight SELECT grade batting in a 70% cotton/30% polyester blend. The higher 30% polyester content provides even greater loft resilience than the 80/20 version, making it an excellent choice for quilts where maximum loft retention under longarm tension is desired.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How does 70/30 differ from 80/20?
- The 70/30 has more polyester (30% vs 20%), providing greater loft resilience and a slightly higher, more pillowy loft. The finished quilt will have a bit more body and loft than an 80/20 quilt. Many quilters find 70/30 creates a more pronounced puffiness between quilting lines.
- Does 70/30 still have a natural feel?
- Yes — with 70% cotton still dominant, the batting retains a natural feel and some of the shrinkage character of cotton, though slightly less than 80/20 or pure cotton.
- Is 70/30 appropriate for customers who want a loftier quilt?
- Yes — customers who prefer a more substantial, lofty quilt with visible texture between quilting lines will often prefer 70/30 over 80/20 or pure cotton.
- Is SELECT 70/30 appropriate for free-motion longarm quilting?
- Yes — SELECT grade supports dense free-motion as well as pantograph and ruler quilting without issues.
- How many queen quilts per roll?
- Check the current listing for specific roll yardage. Approximately 8–10 queen quilts at 3 yards each.
