Hobbs was the only King sized batting available for purchase, so I bought it. It wasn’t what i originally wanted, but it turned out to be great for the quilt I was making. I did successfully pre wash the battling, carefully following the package directions. I did this because the package said that it could shrink up to 5 percent when washed. My quilt was a gift and I didn’t want to chance it shrinking when my recipient needed to wash it.
