The most popular loft from America's most trusted batting maker. Quilters Dream Cotton Select is the versatile mid-loft workhorse of the Dream Cotton family — the #1 choice of longarm quilters and the go-to batting for virtually any quilt, from baby quilts to king-size showstoppers. If you only stock one cotton batting, this is the one.
Why Quilters Choose Dream Cotton Select
-
100% long-staple USA cotton — the finest grade of natural, environmentally friendly cotton, mechanically cleaned without chemicals, then carded, crosslapped, and needle-punched for superior strength and a beautifully even batt.
-
The longarm favorite — Select loft loads flat, stays put, and shows off quilting texture beautifully, which is why longarm professionals reach for it again and again.
-
No scrim, glue, or binders — your needle glides through cleanly whether you quilt by hand, on a domestic machine, or on a frame.
-
Quilt up to 8" apart — Dream Cotton's unique processing prevents shifting and lumping for total design freedom.
-
Warm yet breathable — high thermal value (R=3.8) with natural moisture-wicking; cozy in winter, comfortable in summer.
-
Minimal shrinkage (1–3%) — no prewashing needed. Machine wash and dry the finished quilt with confidence.
Perfect For
Everyday bed quilts, longarm quilting, gift quilts, drag-around quilts that get washed constantly, wall hangings, and wearables. The soft, lovely drape works for both traditional and modern quilts, and the natural cream color pairs beautifully with warm-toned quilt tops.
