Poly-Fil Mid-Weight Quilt Batting 48" x 27.4 m Roll — Bonded Polyester, Sewable Loft

Poly-Fil Fairfield Mid-Weight Quilt Batting is a bonded polyester roll that adds soft loft and sewable structure to quilts, comforters, crafts, and wearable sewing projects.

This 48-inch by 30-yard roll of mid-weight batting provides a balanced layer of cushioning that drapes without stiffness and trims cleanly for precise machine or hand work. Designed for quilters, home sewers, and craftmakers, the bonded polyester construction resists shifting during stitching and gives finished pieces a rounded, cosy profile while remaining manageable during cutting and handling.

How much batting comes on a 48" x 30 yd roll and how can I plan cuts?

The roll contains 30 yards (1,080 inches) of batting at a 48-inch width. That length is easy to subdivide for multiple projects: cut into equal sections or custom-size panels to match quilt blocks, comforters, or craft patterns. Planning ahead reduces waste and speeds up prep for machine quilting or tying.

• Roll length: 1,080 inches total, 48 inches wide.
• Typical yield: eighteen 60-inch panels when divided evenly.
• Cutting tip: mark lines at planned panel lengths to keep consistent sizes.
• Storage: keeps rolled on a shelf until ready to use.

Will this mid-weight batting work for machine quilting, tying, and wearable projects?

Yes — the bonded polyester construction trims and stitches cleanly for both machine and hand techniques. The mid-weight loft offers enough cushion for visible quilting definition without adding excessive bulk to garments, bags, or cushions, and it holds position well when you quilt at recommended intervals.

• Stitch spacing: designed for 2–4 inch quilting intervals to maintain alignment.
• Suitable for: machine quilting, tied quilts, sewn garments, and craft layers.
• Handling: cuts cleanly and feeds smoothly under sewing machines.
• Care: finished pieces can be washed after quilting per fabric care directions.

What visual and structural effect does mid-weight Poly-Fil batting give to finished projects?

Mid-weight Poly-Fil batting creates a soft, rounded loft that enhances texture and warmth without stiffening the finished piece. Quilts and comforters gain a gentle puff that highlights quilting lines and appliqué, while smaller sewn items maintain good drape and shape.

• Finish: raised loft for dimensional quilting definition.
• Drape: balanced flexibility for garments and home décor items.
• Bulk: noticeable depth without heavy thickness or weight.
• Appearance: keeps a neat, cosy profile after stitching.

How should I care for projects made with this batting and how long does it last in storage?

Once quilted, items made with Poly-Fil mid-weight batting can be laundered according to the outer fabric's care instructions; the polyester layer is durable and resilient. In storage, keep the roll dry and away from direct sunlight — a shelf or closet is ideal — and it will remain ready for future sewing seasons.

• Washing: follow fabric care; polyester batting tolerates routine washing.
• Drying: air dry or low-heat dryer per fabric instructions.
• Storage: keep rolled, dry, and out of direct light to preserve loft.
• Durability: bonded polyester resists bunching and maintains shape over time.

Who is this for: Poly-Fil Fairfield Mid-Weight Quilt Batting is made for quilters, hobby sewists, and craftmakers who want a reliable, easy-to-handle polyester layer that adds visible loft without excessive bulk. It suits those making bed quilts, throws, wearable items, cushions, bags, and textile art who need consistent stitch behavior and a tidy prep workflow from cutting to finished, washable projects.
