The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The needle-punched construction keeps the fibers from shifting around while you quilt, and it produces minimal lint compared to some other battings.
- It has about an eighth inch of loft, which gives quilts a defined look without being too puffy, and the finished quilt will drape comfortably.
- After washing, expect about 3 to 5 percent shrinkage, which creates that slightly puckered, traditional quilt appearance some people are going for.
As of Sep 1, the Hobbs Batting Heirloom 80%/20% Cotton/Poly Queen is overpriced at $34.69 — versus a $32.45 typical price and a $18.31 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
