Heirloom Premium 80/20 Black Cotton Blend is highly recommended for quilt tops created in black, navy or other dark colors. It is made using dyed cotton fibers to provide quilters with a batting that will not create light fiber lint on the quilt top during the quilting process. This product is manufactured in the same manner as our Premium 80/20 in the natural cotton. This batting is made with 80% dyed cotton & 20% polyester. It is lightly needle punched & resin bonded to provide exceptional strength & durability. Black Cotton Blend 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. You may experience shrinkage of 3-5% & it may be quilted up to 4in apart. We recommend that the quilt maker spend some time learning about this product before using it on a major project. Make samples using this batting to see how it launders & how it needles, both by hand & by machine, so that you can obtain the look you want in your final project. More than one yard purchased at the same time will be cut as a continous piece Heirloom Premium 80/20 Black Cotton Blend Batting 108" Wide
