Designed for machine quilting and large-scale projects, Fairfield’s Poly-Fil Hi-Loft offers lightweight warmth with a generous loft for deep texture and clear stitch definition. This 6 oz./sq. yd. batting is easy to needle through, washable after quilting, and suitable for whole-cloth quilts, Hawaiian quilts, duvets, upholstery accents, and decorative craft pieces. Made in the USA and engineered to stay in place, it preserves a plush appearance with minimal maintenance.

How will Poly-Fil Hi-Loft change the look of my quilt?

Its higher loft gives stitches and motifs more depth, so your quilting design stands out without adding heavy bulk. Use larger-print fabrics or bold quilting patterns to amplify the three-dimensional effect for a deep, luxurious finish.

• High-loft structure emphasizes quilting pattern and texture.
• Lightweight warmth avoids a weighted, flattened feel.
• 6 oz./sq. yd. balances puff with manageability for machines.
• Recommended quilting spacing up to 4" for best loft retention.

Is this batting easy to sew and care for?

Yes — Poly-Fil Hi-Loft is bonded to resist bearding and shifting, making it simple to stitch by machine and hand. Finished items remain washable; they dry quickly and keep their loft over time when laundered according to standard quilt care.

• Bonded polyester resists shedding and movement under the needle.
• Sewing-friendly thickness for most domestic and long-arm machines.
• Washable after quilting for practical, everyday use.
• Quick-drying fibres simplify post-laundry maintenance.

It also works well for school projects, holiday decor, and light upholstery where a lofty appearance is desired without heavy insulation.

• Whole-cloth and large-print quilts that show dramatic quilting.
• Duvets and comforters seeking a cloudlike loft without weight.
• Decorative cushions, wall hangings, and craft projects.
• Light upholstery accents and Hawaiian-style quilting.
