A Must-Have Polyester Batting for Every Quilt Shop

Hobbs Batting is known for offering a complete polyester batting range alongside its natural fibers. Poly-Down Batting is a core product within this assortment, valued for its soft hand, generous loft, and broad appeal to both hand and machine quilters.

Poly-Down occupies an important middle ground: softer and more drapey than many polyester battings, yet durable and easy to care for. This makes it a dependable, high-turnover option for shops serving a wide range of quilting customers.

Poly-Down Batting

Poly-Down Batting is made from very fine, white denier 100% polyester fibers, giving it a soft feel and beautiful drape. It offers a pleasing loft that highlights quilting details, making it especially attractive for both traditional and decorative quilts.

The batting is bonded for added durability, helping to resist bearding and fiber migration. It is non-allergenic, machine washable, and maintains its loft over time, providing consistent results across repeated use and laundering.
