A Must-Have Everyday Batting for Every Quilt Shop

Hobbs Batting is trusted worldwide for battings that balance quality, versatility, and reliability. Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Cotton/Poly Blend Batting is one of the most popular battings on the market and a true workhorse product—making it an essential staple for any quilt shop.

Thanks to its broad range of applications and dependable performance, this 80/20 blend is a frequent choice for utility quilts, children’s and charity quilts, gifts, table runners, placemats, and wall quilts. It is often the first batting customers reach for when they want consistent results with minimal fuss.

Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Cotton/Poly Blend Batting

Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Cotton/Poly Blend Batting combines 80% natural cotton and 20% fine polyester, needle-punched with a light resin bonding for added strength and durability. This construction provides more loft and less weight than traditional all-cotton batting while remaining easy to quilt by hand or machine.

Stitch density allows quilters to control the final look: closer quilting produces a flatter, low-loft finish, while wider spacing results in a slightly higher loft. The batting is machine washable (once quilted), durable, and well suited for projects that will see regular use.
