Warm & Natural is the preferred batting among quilters world-wide!

Warm & Natural is the finest needle-punched cotton batting! Only 15% of all cotton grown in the USA is the proper length, thickness and color. Out of this 15%, only 5% is clean enough for Warm & Natural! This soft, natural cotton has never been washed or bleached with harsh chemicals. It’s kinder to the environment and kinder to your batting. The cotton undergoes a mechanical cleaning process removing all of the seeds, seed coats, along with the majority of leaf and stem remnants. The remaining tiny plant particles lend a special look to crafts like no other and won’t harm your quilt.

Quilt or tie up to 10″ apart! Quilt Warm & Natural right out of the package, as pre-washing is not necessary. Once quilted, machine wash and dry your finished quilt in cold water. 3% shrinkage can be expected in the first wash with cold water. To achieve an antique puckered look use warm water for 5% shrinkage. Warm & Natural won’t distort when hanging, hooping or when used in quilt frames. It can be used for both batting and as an exterior craft fabric to create stuffed snowmen and rabbits.

The Warm Company is proud to purchase over 4 million pounds of American cotton annually for processing in our American manufacturing facilities by American workers for the American tradition of quilting shared around the world!

Warm & White is the ideal batting for pastel and tone-on-tone fabrics!

Warm & White is The Warm Company’s second highest selling quilt batting enjoying world-wide success for 30 years. Warm & White is everything you love about Warm & Natural with beautiful whitened cotton fibers! The natural cotton fibers undergo a hydrogen peroxide bath to remove all the impurities as well as the natural color.  This safe process leaves the fiber soft and hypoallergenic.  The fiber is processed in the same state of the art needle-punched tradition that made Warm & Natural the most highly regarded quilt batting in the world. Warm & White is the ideal batting for use with bright white, pastel, and tone-on-tone fabrics because Warm & White won’t peek through!  Of course the bright white batting lends itself to soft sculpture snowmen, polar bears and rabbits.

Both Warm & Natural and Warm & White weigh 4 oz. per square yard, but Warm & White feels a little thinner due to the cleaning process.  There is little to no measurable shrinkage in a cold or warm water wash after quilting. When looking for a finished quilt that will remain pristine without puckering around your quilted lines, Warm & White is the perfect choice!

Benefits of Needlepunch Batting

Warm 100 is One of Kind!

The Warm Company is dedicated to the manufacture of the most innovating quilt battings and fusible webs. Warm 100 is no exception. Warm 100 is the only batting in the world manufactured with 100% Natural Cotton needled into a 100% All Cotton Scrim! State of the art mechanical cleaning removes all seeds and plant remnants for super clean natural cotton needle-punched into an all new cotton scrim! The cotton scrim holds the fiber together for the softest, easiest to work with cotton batting you’ve ever experienced! The master of cotton quilt batting has done it again. Another first for quilters from The Warm Company!

Were the Earliest Quilters Scientists? The unexplainable comforting power of cotton quilts has been observed for centuries. Love sewn in every stitch is often credited for this phenomenon. While love is undoubtedly a factor, recent discoveries found natural cotton fiber releases low levels of H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide), well known as an antiseptic and disinfectant for viruses and bacteria. Is it coincidence that cotton fabric, thread and batting have been preferred and insisted on by quilters all this time? Or is it just another example of quilter’s ingenuity and resourcefulness?

Your quilting experience is soft with no chemical odor. Plus, you’ll have peace of mind when wrapping up baby in a Warm 80/20 quilt and no worries when it ends up in their mouth!

Fuse In Dimension For Sewing, Quilting and Crafting Projects!

The Warm Company, manufacturer of the world’s favorite polyester quilt batting, Soft & Bright and the equally popular fusible web, Steam-A-Seam is pleased to present Fusible Warm Fleece – the quick, easy way to add dimension and loft to projects. Fusible Warm Fleece 1 keeps everything together reducing time spent getting ready to sew or quilt! Sew through Fusible Warm Fleece after fusing without worry of gumming your needle. Simply lay the fabric over the fusible side (the rougher feeling side) and use your iron to create a nice stable bond. Made of 100% polyester fiber manufactured in the USA, Fusible Warm Fleece won’t shrink or lose its shape – staying soft after years of machine washing and drying. Fusible Warm Fleece 1 features Steam-A-Seam 2 on one side of the Warm Fleece allowing you to quickly fuse either your top or backing fabric eliminating the need for basting. Quickly line a tote or apply the backing to placemats, table runners and wallhangings. Fusible Warm Fleece 1 is extremely versatile in that a quick, gentle pass of your steam iron will create a permanent soft, pliable bond ideal for soft books but the more steam and pressure you apply makes it very rigid for stand up totes!

Fusible Warm Fleece 1 Instructions:

  1. Set your iron for the type of fabric you will fuse – steam on.
  2. Lay the Fusible Warm Fleece 1 fusible side up on your ironing surface and place your fabric right side up on top making sure the Fusible Warm Fleece 1 is not exposed to your iron – this could get messy!
  3. Gently pass the steam iron in one direction across the layers from one side to the other lifting the iron as you come to the end and replacing at the starting side again slightly overlapping making sure all areas have been steamed. If a soft fuse is what you need, you’re done!
  4. Repeat step 3 with pressure as many times as needed to reach your desired rigidity.

Tips for Using Steam-A-Seam 2 with Wool

To use Steam-A-Seam 2 or Lite Steam-A-Seam 2 with wool, or any dense and sensitive material, you need to iron press both the front and back of your design. If available, using a steam iron is recommended.  Since the “wool” iron setting is a low temperature, you must iron press for a longer amount of time, until the Steam-A-Seam webbing is properly fused. Please use caution as it is possible to burn wool fibers – do not iron press in one area for too long. Press for 45+ seconds and let it set to cool.
