80/20 Black Cotton Blend Batting is a product highly recommended for quilt tops created in black, navy or other dark colors. This dark product is made using dyed cotton fibers to provide quilters with a batting that will not create light fiber lint on the quilt top during the quilting process. Black Cotton Blend Batting is wonderful to quilt by hand or machine, no matter your use. Close quilting yields a flat low loft appearance while more space between stitching lines yields a slightly higher loft. Note that you may experience shrinkage of 3-5% and it may be quilted up to 4” apart.
