Heirloom Premium 80/20 Cotton Blend is one of our most popular battings. It offers more loft & less weight than traditional cotton batting. Heirloom Premium is wonderful to quilt by hand or machine. This blend is made with 80% natural cotton & 20% fine polyester. It is needle punched & has a light resin bonding to provide exceptional strength & durability. Close quilting yields a flat low loft appearance while more space between stitching lines yields a slightly higher loft. Heirloom Premium should be used with medium or dark fabrics. If used with light colored fabrics, unbleached cotton can slightly darken white & pastel colors. 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.
