Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 Cotton Blend Batting 96" × 30-Yard Roll
Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 is a shop-favorite batting among longarm and machine quilters. It combines the softness and traditional drape of cotton with the strength and stability of polyester, creating a durable, low-loft batting that is easy to quilt.
Made from 80% natural cotton and 20% polyester, this batting provides excellent stitch definition while resisting shifting, bunching, and bearding. Its approximately 1/8" loft produces a soft, classic finish without adding excessive bulk.
The generous 96" width allows many quilt tops to be completed without piecing the batting. With 30 continuous yards per roll, it is an economical choice for professional longarm quilters, quilting businesses, and frequent quilters.
