Warm & Natural Twin Cotton Batting

Even quality from one product to the next. Use it when machine quilting, not when hand quilting.

Im making my first quilt... I was going to order poly-fil batting but a friend (and quilting veteran) advised me to buy a small amount of it from Walmart first (partly to practice quilting on and partly to preview the quality)... She told me cotton is the way to go, but I had read that synthetic would be warmer... I got a small amount of synthetic batting and tried to practice with it, and I ended up ordering this Warm company cotton batting for my actual quilt... heres my comparison: Synthetic (NOT this product): The batting thickness was very inconsistent - extremely thin in places (consistent with the reviews) and bunched up where it was folded... this bunching was not fixable. It seemed like poly-fil (like for pillows) had been rolled out into layers and I could very easily rip the batting up into pieces. It was also difficult to cut because of this. The whole sheet was translucent. Warm and Natural (THIS product): This is like a blanket by itself - not translucent, and even thickness throughout. Thin enough to be easy to work with, but dense and obviously very WARM! It would not be possible to rip it in half with my hands, and it cut easily with sheers like any other thick fabric. I am SO GLAD I listened to my friend and got the cotton. It was the same price as the synthetic, easier to work with, and very obviously of a MUCH higher quality.

IF you dont want this batting to shrink 3% you MUST pre wash it ! I had already pre washed the top and bottom fabrics for my quilt. The top is 100% organic cotton in a woven jacquard design. Heavy ! The bottom is German made double napped 100$ cotton flannel in a loom woven buffalo plaid. Now I have got to put this twin size batting in my kitchen sink (I have a front loading washing machine so I cant just put it in a top loader to soak as instructed) and Lord only knows how much this will weigh when fully wet....and find some way to get the water out without spinning it out.....They suggest laying it between a washable blanket and pressing the excess water out.....Not gonna happen ! IF I had read the package BEFORE I opened it, this would go back and I would just use a poly light weight filling....As it is now, this will sit on my sewing closet shelf until I make a quilt and I do not pre shrink the top and bottom first. So I call this a failure to fully disclose. They need to tell you it will shrink 3% if not washed first !!!

This is some high quality batting! Very thick & tear resistant. Wont shred apart like the typical thin batting. This is more like a cloth.

I used this batting while making a weighted blanket. I wanted warmth without adding a lot of weight. I used a layer of batting in each side of the blanket and when I finished putting the blanket together, before adding the beads, the blanket only weighed 4.2 pounds. The blanket measured 49x70. That was 2 layers of batting and 4 layers of muslin. I had enough batting left over that I was able to piece together 3 large strips for a twin quilt. Its a good value for your money. I plan to purchase it again. Maybe even in a larger size depending on what I need.

This is an excellent product. I have made several quilts from it. I highly recommend it if the quilter is looking for 100% cotton batting

I used this to make quilted bowls for the microwave. It worked out great for that.

I have been quilting for a number of years and this is my preferred batting.

There is no grain so it can be used in any direction. Warm, soft , lightweight.

T choose this brand because it works well for me in my quilts. I wish it was a little heavier as I live in WI
