Hobbs Batting Package Sampler – Bleached 80/20 + Polydown Queen Size
Not sure which Hobbs batting is right for you? Try both — together.
The Hobbs Batting Package Sampler bundles a Hobbs Heirloom Bleached 80/20 Queen Package with a Hobbs Polydown Queen Package — two of the most popular Hobbs batting styles, both in queen size, so you can experience the difference firsthand before committing to a full roll.
What's Included
- Hobbs Heirloom Bleached 80/20 – Queen Package (90"×108") — The bright white version of the classic Hobbs Heirloom blend. 80% cotton / 20% polyester. Soft, breathable, minimal shrinkage. Ideal for light-colored quilt tops.
- Hobbs Polydown – Queen Package (90"×108") — 100% fine denier polyester batting with excellent drape and loft. Lightweight, hypoallergenic, and machine washable. Great for quilts that need a little more puff.
Why This Bundle Works
Cotton-blend and polyester batting behave differently under the needle — different stitch density, different drape, different feel after washing. Trying both on actual projects is the best way to find your preference, and queen-size packages are the most popular size for that comparison.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the main difference between 80/20 and Polydown? The 80/20 has a cotton feel with natural drape; Polydown is lighter, loftier, and fully synthetic. 80/20 quilts tend to have a flatter, more traditional appearance; Polydown quilts have more visible texture and dimension.
Can I use both in the same longarm setup? Absolutely — just adjust your stitch density slightly, as polyester batting typically handles denser quilting better than cotton blends.
