Hobbs Poly-Down Premium Polyester Batting, available in Queen size (90″ x 108″), is crafted from fine, white, denier polyester fibers renowned for their softness and excellent drape. This premium batting is a favourite among hand quilters for its gentle texture and among machine quilters for its superior loft, which enhances intricate quilting details. Bonded for added durability, it resists bearding and migration, ensuring your projects stand the test of time.
Designed with practicality in mind, Hobbs Poly-Down Batting is machine-washable, non-allergenic, and retains its loft after washing. For best results, wash quilts using a delicate cycle and cool water, avoiding heavy agitation. Caution is advised with front-loading washers due to their intense spin cycles. Machine drying is safe on a low-heat setting, preserving the batting’s integrity.
This versatile batting pairs beautifully with light- to medium-coloured fabrics, though testing with darker fabrics is recommended to ensure desired outcomes. Quilters can stitch up to 4″ apart with no expected shrinkage if care instructions are followed. It’s suggested to make sample pieces to understand the batting’s performance, from needling to laundering.
Pre-washing is not recommended for this product or any of Hobbs’ quality batting offerings. Available by the roll, Hobbs Poly-Down Batting is the ideal choice for quilt enthusiasts aiming for professional and long-lasting results.
