How does Hobbs 80/20 hold up to many, many washings?
Hi,
I'm a quilter from the 90's. Way back in my day (LOL) we used a whole lot of Hobbs polyester and often opted for cotton only when we wanted that "antique look". Now in my old age, I've taken up quilting again and have started liking Hobbs 80/20 for its pretty drape.
But I'm wondering. From those with experience, how well does Hobbs 80/20 hold up in a child's quilt that might be washed every month or so? Does it survive that abuse? I have well-worn 20 year old Hobbs polyester batted quilts that I made that still feel like they have plenty of batting in them, so that is my expectation for the Hobbs 80/20. Of course, with monthly washings, maybe the batting isn't the prime concern. Still, it's a concern.
Thanks!
