Top 10 Questions About Quilters Dream Select Natural 80/20 Queen Roll
Q: What is the "Select" tier in Quilters Dream batting?
A: Select is Quilters Dream's premium tier — using finer, more carefully selected fiber for a softer hand, better needle-ease, and more refined finished quilt character than their standard Request line. Select is the choice for quilters who want the finest possible batting performance.
Q: How many queen-size quilts does this roll provide?
A: At 93" wide × 30 yards, expect 10–12 queen-size quilts with standard longarm overhang allowance.
Q: Is this roll available for immediate shipment or pre-order?
A: Check the current product listing — some Quilters Dream rolls at Linda's are pre-order items due to production lead times. Current availability and lead time are shown on the product page.
Q: How does Quilters Dream Select Natural 80/20 compare to Hobbs Heirloom 80/20?
A: Both are premium 80/20 battings from trusted manufacturers. Select Natural 80/20 is particularly praised for its silky needle-ease — many hand quilters prefer Quilters Dream Select for its refined, fine-fiber construction. For longarm production, both perform excellently.

A: Quilters Dream recommends quilting every 8 inches or less — excellent design flexibility for open pantograph work and custom quilting.
Q: Does this batting shrink when washed?

Q: What thread works best with natural 80/20 batting?
A: Warm neutrals — 10WG1 Linen Glide, 17443 Bone Glide, 20001 Cream Glide — complement the warm natural batting tone beautifully through the quilt sandwich.

A: Yes — 93" provides comfortable queen overhang for most standard longarm frame widths. Verify against your specific machine's batting leader dimensions before ordering in quantity.

A: Check the current product listing for live availability and lead time. Pre-order availability is noted on the product page when applicable.
