Pre-Cut Batting

Warm & Natural is the finest needle-punched cotton batting! Only 15% of all cotton grown in the USA is the proper length, thickness and color. Out of this 15%, only 5% is clean enough for Warm & Natural! This soft, natural cotton has never been washed or bleached with harsh chemicals. It's kinder to the environment and kinder to your batting. The cotton undergoes a mechanical cleaning process removing all of the seeds, seed coats, along with the majority of leaf and stem remnants. The remaining tiny plant particles lend a special look to crafts like no other and won't harm your quilt.

Quilt or tie up to 10" apart! Quilt Warm & Natural right out of the package, as pre-washing is not necessary. Once quilted, machine wash and dry your finished quilt in cold water. 3% shrinkage can be expected in the first wash with cold water. To achieve an antique puckered look use warm water for 5% shrinkage. Warm & Natural won't distort when hanging, hooping or when used in quilt frames. It can be used for both batting and as an exterior craft fabric to create stuffed snowmen and rabbits.

Fusible Batting Strips are here!

Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Fusible Cotton/Poly Blend Batting Strips are made from our much-loved Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Fusible Cotton/Poly Blend Batting.

This product enables you to quickly and easily create bags, totes, rugs, straps, sashing and a whole host of other quilted and sewn projects without frustration – and there’s no clipping or pinning required!

Unlike competitive products, which are wider and may make ‘rolling’ your fabric strips around the strips challenging, our batting strips are 2 1/4″ in width, making it easy to roll your 2 1/2″ fabric strips around them.

Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Fusible Cotton/Poly Blend Batting Strips are manufactured in the same manner as our Hobbs Heirloom^® Premium 80/20 (Natural) Cotton/ Poly Blend Batting – the base batting is lightly bonded and needle-punched for exceptional strength and durability, and it’s machine-washable, once inside your project (and who doesn’t love that?!).

Hobbs Heirloom® 80/20 Fusible Batting Strips have an additional water-soluble, fusing medium applied to both sides of the batting strips, enabling quilters and sewers to easily adhere their fabric strips to the batting strips in one quick pressing. And, because the fusing medium used in making these strips is water-soluble, these batting strips become as soft and supple as our Hobbs Heirloom^® Premium 80/20 (Natural) Cotton/ Poly Blend Batting once the finished project in which they’re placed is washed.

If desired, the quilter or sewer may choose to use only one side of the fusible batting strips, in which case a piece of parchment paper or a non-stick mat should be placed under the side which will NOT be fused so it doesn’t stick to the ironing surface.

To fuse the Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Fusible Cotton/Poly Blend Batting Strips to your fabric, set your DRY iron to the appropriate temperature for your fabric and let your iron get nice and hot.

Then, press your fabric strips onto your batting strips (without moving the iron while pressing!).DO NOT use steam in your iron – remember, the fusing medium is water soluble and if you get the strips wet they won’t stick!

Press in each spot for approximately 5-7 seconds (test for adhesion by letting a pressed area cool before tugging on the fabric – if it’s adhered, continue; if it’s not, increase the amount of pressing time).

Once you have pressed your fabric to the batting strips, allow your paired strips to cool completely. Should you find wrinkles or creases, you can gently lift the fabric away from the batting, then smooth it back down and again press it in place – you can make these adjustments 1-2 times before the fusing medium will no longer adhere the fabric strips to the batting strips.

Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Fusible Cotton/Poly Blend Batting Strips are recommended for use with medium or dark fabrics; if using with light-colored fabrics, we suggest you test the batting strips with your chosen fabrics to ensure the color of the batting strips doesn’t ‘dull’ your fabric colors.

These batting strips are wonderful to use when machine sewing or quilting, and close quilting will yield a flat, low-loft appearance, while more space between stitching/quilting will yield a slightly higher loft.

Quilting/stitching should be every 4″ inches, or closer, and quilters may experience shrinkage of 3-5% when projects made with these batting strips are washed.

We recommend quilters spend time learning about Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Fusible Cotton/Poly Blend Batting Strips before using them on a project – making samples using these batting strips to see how they needle, how they look under your chosen fabrics and how they launder provides an opportunity to see if these batting strips will deliver your desired results.

Pre-washing is not recommended for this or any of our other quality batting products.

Insul-Bright is a needle-punched, insulated material ideal for crafters. With today's focus shifting back to family and home, new and experienced sewers are choosing simple, practical projects for use in their homes and as gifts. Pot holders, oven mitts and casserole covers are all ideal projects made functional and safe with Insul-Bright. It consists of polyester fibers, needle-punched through a reflective metalized polyester film. The needled material is breathable and won't break down with washing. The polyester fibers resist conduction while the reflective metalized polyester film reflects radiant energy, hot or cold, back to its source.

Insul-Bright is not recommended for microwave use. Insul-Bright can be used in clothing but is a little noisy as the film crinkles when moved. This noise is very attractive to both babies and animals, as they like to scrunch it up in soft books and toys.

Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 100% Wool Batting has become one of our most sought after battings due to its soft and luxurious feel and the way it brings out a quilter’s piecing and stitching. It needles wonderfully, maintains loft and has exceptional resilience.

Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 100% Wool Batting is a lightweight, breathable batting that breathes naturally and is comfortable for use in all climates, even hot and humid climates!

Hobbs Heirloom Wool Batting is made of the finest superwashed wool in the world – this superwashing process successfully smooths the scales on the wool fibers, making it pleasant to the touch and less likely to shrink.

This product, while lightweight, is also strong and resists bearding and migration.

We suggest washing items made with Hobbs Heirloom Wool Batting by hand, in cool water, and laying them out flat to dry. If you prefer machine washing, items made with this batting may be machine-washed – you should use a gentle cycle and cold/cool water and ensure there’s no heavy agitation or spin during the wash cycle. Be especially cautious with front-loading washers as the intense spin cycle on these machines can be very hard on all elements of your quilts. You may start the drying process of items made with this batting in a cool/air-fluff dryer for 5-10 minutes, however, we recommend you then lay the item flat to complete the drying process.

100% cotton fibers are punched with hundreds of needles through a thin base material to prevent tearing, shifting or migrating.

Warm & Natural's cottons flexibility makes it ideal for both inside and outside use.

Quilt or tie up to 10in apart.
