The cotton provides natural breathability, soft drape, and the characteristic crinkle after washing that many quilters love. The 20% polyester improves loft retention (the batting bounces back after compression), reduces shrinkage compared to 100% cotton, and adds durability for long-term use.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhat is the SELECT quality grade?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eSELECT is Quilters Dream’s mid-range grade — above their Request entry level and below their premium DELUXE grade. SELECT provides professional production quality suitable for customer quilts, gifts, and regular studio production where premium quality is important but the highest-grade batting is not required.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhy choose White over Natural for the 80\/20?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eWhite batting is bleached to a bright white, making it the appropriate choice for white or light-colored quilt tops where any show-through from batting color would be visible. Natural (unbleached) batting has a warm off-white color that can show through light fabrics. For white and pastel quilt tops, White batting is the correct choice.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhat does 30 yards provide for throw quilt production?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eAt standard throw size (approximately 50\" x 60\" finished), 30 yards of 60\"-wide batting provides approximately 18 throw-size quilts — substantial production yardage for studios with regular smaller-format quilt output.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs 80\/20 the most popular batting blend in the longarm industry?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes — 80\/20 is the most widely used batting blend in longarm production because it combines the best qualities of cotton and polyester in a proportion that most studios and customers find ideal for a wide range of quilt types.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhat stitch distance is appropriate for Quilters Dream SELECT 80\/20?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eQuilters Dream SELECT batting is designed for stitch distances up to 8\" between quilting lines. Closer stitching is always acceptable; going beyond the recommended distance risks batting shift and bearding over time.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDoes SELECT 80\/20 require pre-washing?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eNo — SELECT batting is manufactured to be used as-is without pre-washing. The 20% polyester content reduces the shrinkage associated with 100% cotton battings, though some minimal shrinkage after the customer’s first wash is normal and contributes to the characteristic cottage look.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs this batting appropriate for hand quilting?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes — Quilters Dream SELECT cotton-polyester battings are needled for smooth hand quilting needle passage as well as machine and longarm use.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eHow does SELECT compare to Hobbs 80\/20?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eBoth are quality 80\/20 battings from leading manufacturers. Studio preference for Quilters Dream vs. Hobbs 80\/20 typically comes down to personal drape, loft, and handling preferences developed through regular use. Many studios stock both for different applications or customer preferences.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs the Throw Roll economical for production studios?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes — roll format batting is significantly more economical per yard than packaged batting and allows exact yardage cutting for each quilt without waste. Roll format is the standard for production longarm studios.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Uses for Quilters Dream Select White 80\/20 Throw Roll\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction batting for throw and lap quilts in studio longarm work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustomer quilts where an 80\/20 cotton-polyester blend is specified or preferred\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaby and children’s quilts requiring a durable, washable cotton-poly blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGift quilts where a quality production batting is appropriate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDonation and charity quilts requiring a reliable, economical production-grade batting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmaller art quilts and wall hangings at throw size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpsell batting option for customers choosing a premium blend over standard polyester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudio staple for consistent quality across all smaller-format production work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"quilters-dream-select-white-80-20-batting-throw-roll-60-x-30-yards","title":"Quilters Dream Select White 80\/20 Batting Throw Roll - 60\" x 30 yards","description":"\u003ch2 class=\"Polaris-Text--root Polaris-Text--headingLg\"\u003eQuilters Dream Select White 80\/20 Batting Throw Roll - 60\" x 30 yards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*This item is currently on pre-order and is expected to ship in about 8 weeks time*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuilters Dream Select White 80\/20 Batting Throw Roll - 60\" x 30 yards:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"Polaris-Text--root Polaris-Text--headingLg\"\u003eQuilters Dream Select White 80\/20 Batting Throw Roll\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuilters Dream Select White 80\/20 Batting Throw Roll \u003c\/strong\u003ecombines the best of both worlds—crafted with 80% premium long-staple bleached white cotton and 20% fine denier polyester for a perfect balance of softness, durability, and loft.
