batting by the bolt

If you quilt often, buying batting by the bolt is one of the smartest ways to stock your studio. Instead of running out mid-project or piecing together leftover scraps, a full bolt gives you a steady supply of consistent filling for quilts, table runners, pot holders, and more.

Why Buy Quilt Batting on a Bolt

Bulk quilt batting lets you cut exactly the size you need, whether that's a baby quilt or a king-size bed cover. It also keeps loft and texture uniform across a series of projects, which is ideal for gift quilts, classes, and production sewing.

What to Look For

Fiber Content

Cotton batting breathes well and softens with washing, while polyester batting is lightweight and holds its shape. Blends offer a balance of both.

Loft and Width

• Low loft batting suits machine quilting and a flat, traditional look.
• Higher loft adds puff and warmth for tied quilts and comforters.
• Wide quilt batting reduces seams on larger quilts.

Also check the care instructions and recommended quilting distance before you buy.
