batting 48 inch
If you're working on a baby quilt, table runner or wall hanging, batting 48 inch wide is one of the handiest widths to keep on hand. It covers small and crib-size projects in a single piece, so you can skip piecing scraps together and spend more time on the fun part: quilting.
Why Choose 48 Inch Wide Batting?
Buying 48 inch wide batting by the yard lets you cut exactly what you need with less waste. It's a natural fit for crib quilts, lap throws, placemats, pot holders and quilted bags.
What to Look For
Fiber Content
- Cotton batting is breathable, soft and gives a classic, flat look that softens and crinkles after washing.
- Polyester batting is lightweight, holds its shape and resists moisture, which suits frequently washed items.
- Blends balance the warmth and drape of cotton with the resilience of polyester.
Loft and Feel
Low loft batting is ideal for machine quilting and crisp stitch definition, while higher loft adds puffiness for hand-tied or cozy quilts. Check each listing for recommended quilting distance and care instructions.
