batting by the yard

Buying batting by the yard gives you the freedom to cut exactly what each project needs, whether that's a crib quilt, a king-size bed quilt, a set of placemats or a quilted tote. Instead of working around prepackaged sizes, you choose the length that fits your quilt top and keep the extra on hand for the next idea.

How to Choose Quilt Batting

The right batting shapes how a finished quilt looks, feels and wears over time. Two factors matter most: fiber and loft.

Fiber Content

• Cotton batting is soft, breathable and drapes nicely. It suits traditional quilts and machine quilting.
• Polyester batting is lightweight and durable, and it holds its shape well.
• Wool batting adds warmth with little weight and shows quilting stitches beautifully.
• Cotton-poly blends offer a balance of natural feel and easy care.

Loft and Thickness

Low loft batting creates a flat, classic look and is easy to quilt closely. Higher loft adds puff and warmth for comforters and tied quilts.
