Quilter's Dream cotton batting is made from 100% pure, highest grade, USA cotton. The cotton is carded, crosslapped, and needlepunched, to give the batting it's strength and quality. Quilter's Dream cotton batting contains no scrim, glue, or binders. Stitching may be up to 8" apart, or as close as needed (close stitching gives a "antique-puckered" look), and the quilt will remain soft and flexible. The finished quilt may be machine washed, gently, and dried, with minimal shrinkage (1-3%). Prewashing is not recommended for this product. Request loft is the thinnest loft, and is exceptional for hand quilting and excellent for maching quilting. Thin loft batting is perfect for warm climates, lightweight quilts, antique quilts, and wearables. Crib size is 60" X 46".
