Hobbs Heirloom Premium 80/20 Bleached Quilt Batting
Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 batting is a popular choice for quilters for a variety of reasons.
One of the main reasons is its blend of 80% cotton and 20% polyester, which gives it the best of both worlds:
Softness and drape: The cotton provides a soft and natural feel, while the polyester adds drape and a bit of loft.
Durability: The polyester also makes the batting more durable and less likely to tear or beard (when the fibers poke through the fabric).
Warmth: This blend offers good warmth without being too heavy, making it suitable for a variety of climates.
Easy care: It's machine washable and doesn't require any special handling.
Versatility: It's suitable for both hand and machine quilting and can be used for a variety of projects, from bed quilts to wall hangings.
Why choose Heirloom 80/20?
Antique look: One of the unique characteristics of this batting is that it shrinks 3-5% after washing, which creates a lovely antique, crinkled look. This is a sought-after effect for many quilters.
Stitch definition: The batting allows for good stitch definition, making your quilting patterns stand out.
Affordable: Compared to other high-quality battings, Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 is relatively affordable.
How does it affect quilting results?
Texture: The shrinkage creates a unique texture and adds dimension to your quilt.
Loft: The batting provides a moderate loft, giving your quilt a nice weight and fullness without being too puffy.
Drape: The drape allows the quilt to hang nicely and conform to the shape of the bed or furniture.
Durability: The batting will hold up well over time, even with frequent washing.
When to use it:
When you want a traditional, slightly crinkled look.
For quilts that will be used and washed frequently.
For projects where you want good stitch definition.
When you need a good balance of warmth, drape, and durability.
Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 is a great all-around batting that is suitable for a wide range of quilting projects.
Its blend of cotton and polyester, along with its unique shrinkage properties, make it a popular choice for both beginner and experienced quilters.

Hobbs Heirloom Premium 80/20 Bleached
Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Bleached Cotton Blend Batting is highly recommended for use when working with white or very light colored quilts. The bleached 100% cotton fibers, combined with the fine, white polyester fibers, provide a very white batting that will keep quilts made with white or light-colored fabrics nice and bright.
Whether you’re creating a utility quilt, a quilt to give as a gift, a household decor item, a wall-hanging or a show quilt, this batting should be considered for its strength, durability, color, loft and finish.
Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Bleached Cotton Blend Batting is manufactured in the same manner as our Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 (Natural) Cotton/ Poly Blend Batting – it is lightly bonded and needle-punched for exceptional strength and durability and it’s machine-washable (and who doesn’t love that?!). On light fabrics you should always test with your fabric.
Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Bleached Cotton Blend Batting is wonderful to quilt by hand or machine. Close quilting yields a flat, low-loft appearance, while more space between stitching lines yields a slightly higher loft.
Quilting/stitching should be every 4″ inches, or closer, and quilters may experience shrinkage of 3-5%.
We recommend quilters spend time learning about this product before using it on a project – making samples using this batting to see how it needles, both by hand and by machine, how it looks under white or light-colored fabrics, and how it launders provides an opportunity to see if this batting can deliver the desired results.
Pre-washing is not recommended for this or any of our other quality batting products
