Needlepunched 100% cotton batting
We've selected the highest quality cotton fibers grown in the US make up Soft & Natural. The natural cotton fiber is cleaned mechanically in our facility and like all Warm battings without the use of chemicals. It is gently needlepunched into itself without using a scrim creating a stable and highly anticipated pure cotton batting with stability. Thousands of long barbed needles entangle the cotton fiber into an evenly layered strong batting. Ideal for hand quilting and for quilters that need pure cotton, Soft & Natural offers consistent loft and is so soft to the touch with a pliable hand.
Quilt up to 6" apart and wash in warm water for that antique finished look. Machine and hand quilt with ease. This is your Grandmother's quilt batting!
The soft, natural cotton goes through a gentle mechanical cleaning to pick out cotton plant and seed remnants. The tiny plant particles that remain lend a special look to crafts when used as an exterior fabric and will not damage your fabric when used in your quilt. Shrinkage will be about 3% with your first washing. Many quilters prefer not to pre-wash to achieve the unique effect created by the slight shrinkage of the batting when the completed quilt is washed. Please follow these directions if you wish to pre-wash your batt:
- Hand wash in a basin or tub with a mild detergent. Do not agitate or spin in your washing machine.
- Soak for 20 minutes, then rinse several times.
- Squeeze water out. Rolling in a towel will help to remove excess water.
- Dry in a cool or warm dryer or allow to dry flat.
- 100% pure natural cotton. Breathable warmth
- Heavy finish for those cold winter nights

- Quilt top and bottom cling to fabric while quilting requiring less basting
