Batting Options
These are the available types of batting we carry in-stock at LoveBug Studios. We are proud to carry Legacy Premier Quilt Batting, as well as a select other batting we love for its quality and ease of use.
Some batting has a scrim layer, which is a lightweight, net-like material which holds the fibers together and helps support the batting so it can be stitched further apart.

Very airy loft, great stitch definition, warm & breathable. 96″ width is stocked. | 1/4″ | 0-2% | up to 4″ apart | 12.00 |
| Natural | Simply Bamboo 100% Bamboo, With Scrim (QM) | Bamboo is an eco-friendly fiber that is naturally anti-bacterial. This batting has not been chemically processed or bleached, and is a TRUE bamboo batt, not a rayon. We researched many bamboo batts to find one that was produced in an sustainable, environmentally sound way. 96″ width is stocked. | 1/8″ | 0-5% | up to 8″ apart | 15.00 |

| Natural | Legacy Flame Retardant Rayon, With Scrim (RB) | This is a plant-based natural fiber, but because it uses many different plant fibers, it must be called rayon. This is a non-combustible & non-toxic batt, it will not melt or drip in a fire, which makes it very desirable as bedding. Very warm & lightweight. 96″ width is stocked. | 1/4″ | 4-6% | 8-10″ apart | 15.00 |
