Noire Quilt batting was specially designed for dark colored quilts, garments and home decor projects. The unique qualities of this 60% cotton and 40% special blend polyester make it the perfect batting for long arm, short arm and domestic machine quilting. The cotton holds fabric securely to the batting and allows the Quilt to hang flat. The polyester blend allows the needle to glide through the batting, preventing "pops" on the underside of the Quilt and helps to prevent creasing when the Quilt is folded. A thin scrim gives this batting added strength for machine quilting. It will retain its softness even when densely quilted, making it the machine Quilter's favorite. Weight: 4 oz./sq. YD.
