BEFORE THE FIRST STITCH

Give the small print
a closer look.

How far apart can you quilt it? What does the maker report about shrinkage? When sources disagree, that detail belongs in the comparison too.

Our current reference includes 18 batting records from Warm, Hobbs, and Quilters Dream. It is a starting collection, not a complete catalogue.
