Quilters Dream Cotton Request Batting – Natural | Low Loft 100% Cotton

The batting hand quilters ask for by name. Quilters Dream Cotton Request is the thinnest, lightest loft in the legendary Dream Cotton family — a 100% pure USA cotton batting engineered for fine micro-stitching, effortless needling, and the soft, supple drape that makes an heirloom quilt feel like an heirloom.

Why Quilters Choose Dream Cotton Request

• 100% long-staple USA cotton — mechanically cleaned with zero chemicals, then carded, crosslapped, and needle-punched for unmatched consistency and strength.
• No scrim, no glue, no resins — nothing to resist your needle. Hand and machine needles glide through effortlessly, which is why this loft is the perennial favorite of hand quilters and micro-stitchers.
• Quilt up to 8" apart — the special multi-step processing prevents shifting, bunching, and lumping, giving you total freedom of quilting design.
• Naturally temperature-regulating — with a high thermal value (R=3.8), cotton keeps you warm in winter while wicking moisture to stay cool in summer.
• Minimal shrinkage (1–3%) — prewashing is not recommended or needed; Dream Cotton is exceptionally free of seed remnants. Wash the finished quilt for a subtle, antique crinkle, or press flat for a modern finish.

Perfect For

Hand-quilted heirlooms, lightweight summer quilts, baby quilts, table runners, placemats, wall hangings, wearable art, and antique quilt restoration. Request loft is also lovely on a domestic machine and can be used on a longarm when floating the top.
