A Guide to Batting COTTON B ATTIN G
OUR PICK
Cotton is a soft, breathable, and natural fiber. It’s machine washable and dryable, has moderate drape, and ages well. It softens and shrinks slightly with washing, giving it a crinkled “lived in” look.
HOBBS HEIRLOOM NATURAL 100% COTTON BATTING
GOOD FOR A flat, traditional look
WOOL B ATTIN G Wool is lightweight, warm, and moisture-wicking. Contrary to popular belief, it’s machine washable and dryable as long as you use gentle, cool cycles. GOOD FOR Garments & all-season bed quilts

OUR PICK
Polyester is lightweight and very durable. It’s machine washable and dryable. Poly-down’s medium loft makes it a great choice to show off quilting stitch definition.
HOBBS POLY-DOWN BATTING
GOOD FOR Showing off your stitching
20828 Queen $14.99 20829 King $22.99
B L ACK B ATTIN G
OUR PICK
Black batting is used to give your dark quilts a richer, deeper color. Use under dark fabrics to eliminate white fibers poking through your quilt top.

Know Your Needles Having the right tool for the job makes for easier, speedier work. Learn more about two of our favorite needles, and why we’ve moved beyond using universal needles, well, universally!
MACHINE NEEDLES Why choose a nonstick needle?
Nonstick needles have a special coating to keep adhesives from gumming up, and a slightly larger eye shape to minimize skipped stitches. Great for appliqué and quilting with fusible batting. SCHMETZ SUPER NONSTICK SEWING MACHINE NEEDLES 5 needles per pack, $7.09 each Products shown left to right: 21467 Size 90/14 21468 Size 80/12 21469 Size 70/10
What are microtex needles and why would I want them?
Microtex needles, also known as sharps, are a great choice for quilting with a domestic machine. The slim barrel and extra-sharp point easily pierce through a quilt sandwich. We also love them for bag making and machine binding.
SCHMETZ MICROTEX SHARP SEWING MACHINE NEEDLES 5 needles per pack, $5.09 each Products shown left to right: 82112 Size 80/12 82111 Size 70/10
