Dream Angel Select is a low loft batting made of fibers that are engineered to be flame retardant. The fibers are designed not to melt or flow when in contact with flame. The fibers are inherently flame retardant with no chemical additives and no PBDE's. Dream Angel can be machine washed and dried and will not loose the flame retardant quality. Dream Angel was tested by an independent laboratory and meets both international standards and the NEW DRAFT CAL 604. Dream Angel has a wonderfully natural look and feel. The fibers are needlepunched into a beautiful soft cozy batting very resistant to creasing. No need to prewash! Heavenly for both hand and machine quilting. Confidently stitch up to 6'' apart. It drapes beautifully. Finished quilt may be machine washed and dried. Select loft is the favorite loft for machine quilters also exceptional for hand quilting.
