Batting Types

There are many different types of batting options, and it all depends on what look or feel you're trying to achieve.

Let’s first go over Loft. For each of the different types of batting (cotton, poly, wool, etc.), you can select the loft.

Request – Light Weight loft
- Great for summer quilts or wearables
- Ideal for delicate projects stitched by hand but can be used on longarms
Select – Mid-Weight loft
- Very versatile and used in both hand and machine quilting
- Has a beautiful drape
Deluxe – Mid-Weight loft
- A bit denser than Select and provides more warmth to quilts
Supreme – Heavy-Weight loft
- A hefty and dense batting
