Dream Blend 70/30 for Machines is 70% Cotton blended with 30% Fine Denier Poly Microfibers creating the perfect batting especially developed for machine quilting. The highest grade of USA cleaned natural cotton is blended with Quilters Dream's silky fine denier polyester microfibers. These perfectly blended fibers are carded and cross lapped for a smooth consistent web that is layered on to a light scrim and specially needle punched.
Dream Blend 70/30 for Machines is available in Select Loft (Mid loft. Quilters Dream's most popular loft – versatile for both hand and machine quilting with a soft lovely drape. The perfect mid-weight batting for most quilting projects, quilts and wearables).
Five Ingredients of Dream Blend 70/30 for Machines:
- Natural Cotton – the highest grades of upland USA natural cotton. They start with nature’s cleanest cotton and then mechanically clean the cotton to practically eliminate any remaining seed or leaf particles.
- Polyester Microfibers – “not polyester as usual”. Fine silky fibers imitate natural fibers in softness, drape and breathability and impart volume to cotton allowing for easier washability, quicker drying and reduced shrinkage.
- Ultralight Polyproplyene Scrim – an ultralight thin base that the cotton/poly fibers are needle punched through. This base adds a layer of stabilized strength that allows the extra “tug” or “pull” and helps reduce any “hand prints”, stretch or puckering as you are working with the batting. Scrim has a melt point of 250F. To maintain the soft suppleness of your quilt, dry on low temperatures, do not use commercial dryers and use a low iron setting. If you dry-clean your quilt, advise your cleaner.
- Special processing – Quilters Dream uses state of the art manufacturing. The fine denier poly and cleaned cotton fibers are opened, combed, blended and carded. To add extra strength and prevent “neps”, they go another step and cross lap the fibers into a fine consistent web or pad. This is layered with the scrim and specially needlepunched using thousands of saw like needles that interlace the fibers through the soft scrim base.
- Commitment to Excellence and Quality Control. – Quilters Dream products are hand-cut and carefully inspected by our “Dream” team. We value the art of quilting and take great care in bringing you unsurpassed quality. Quilters Dream proudly presents premium batting that will provide warmth, volume and support to your quilt through generations of “hugs and tugs”.
