If you have a specific quilting pattern in mind that we don’t currently have, we can purchase it for you. Generally, there’s no additional charge unless the pattern is something we cannot use for future projects, such as a personalized design like a last name. In those cases, we would charge a fee to cover the cost of the pattern.
For the best results, we ask that your backing be 8 inches larger on all sides. For example, if your quilt top is 60” x 70”, your backing should be at least 68” x 78”.

When selecting the right batting for your quilting project, understanding the characteristics and benefits of each type can help you make an informed decision. Here, we explore some popular options:
- Winline 80/20 Cotton and Polyester Batting is a blend of 80% cotton and 20% polyester, offering a low to medium loft with minimal shrinkage of around 1-3%. This blend is celebrated for its durability, thanks to the polyester component that enhances its strength and resistance to wear and tear over time. The high cotton content ensures a soft, natural feel, making it ideal for quilts that will see frequent use, and, with minimal shrinkage after washing—ensures your quilt retains its shape and size over time.
- Hobbs Wool Batting made from 100% wool, it offers a medium to high loft. Wool is known for its superior insulation properties, making it perfect for quilts intended for colder climates or seasons. Its natural breathability allows moisture to wick away, ensuring comfort across varying temperatures. Despite its warmth, wool batting remains lightweight, preventing quilts from becoming overly heavy. However, it needs careful washing and drying to keep from shrinking. It quilts really well because of the natural lanolin in the fibers, and is a good choice for heirloom quilts
- Warm and Natural Cotton Batting is made from 100% natural cotton, providing a low to medium loft with approximately 3-5% shrinkage, ideal for those who prefer natural fibers. As it will shrink some with washing, it is great if you want to give your quilt that ‘antique’ look! This batting is not only breathable and comfortable, but it also offers excellent stitch definition, making quilting patterns stand out beautifully. Moreover, being made from natural fibers, it is an eco-friendly choice for environmentally conscious quilters.
- Winline Bamboo 6oz Batting offers high/ medium loft. It is a highly sustainable plant that needs no chemical fertilizers or pesticides to grow, making this batting an eco-friendly option. It is breathable like cotton, has minimal shrinkage, contains no bleaches, glues, or binders, and is naturally antibacterial. Known for its incredibly soft texture, bamboo batting provides a luxurious feel. Its excellent breathability ensures comfort in both warm and cool climates, while its natural antibacterial properties make it a great choice for quilts intended for individuals with allergies or sensitive skin. It is bit more expensive than cotton but is proving to be a good choice for heirloom quilts.
In conclusion, each type of batting brings its unique qualities to your quilting projects. Whether you prioritize durability, warmth, natural fibers, or sustainability, understanding these characteristics and benefits will help you choose the best batting to meet your needs.
