Sponsor and Prize of the Week

We are ecstatic to have Hobbs Batting for our sponsor again this week! The featured prize is a queen size package of Hobbs Premium Heirloom Natural Cotton Batting with Scrim.

This soft and pliable batting is made with very clean, high-grade, unbleached, long-staple, virgin cotton (which proudly displays the Cotton Incorporated Seal) combined with a very thin, polyester scrim (stabilizer) which is needle-punched into the cotton fibers. This scrim provides superior strength to the cotton, and prevents the cotton batting from stretching and distorting as it’s manipulated.
