Hobbs Batting
Be sure
to save your HOBBS batting packaging, and turn in to
BETTY BAKER. She is collecting the packaging in order to
purchase batting at a discounted rate to use on charity
quilts and quilts for soldiers.
Hobbs make rolls of batting for their customers that
sometimes are slightly out of their specifications.
There are also occasions when a customer will return a large
roll of batting for some reason. We put these rolls
aside for quilt guilds and sell them at greatly reduced
pricing plus freight charges.
To qualify to order charity batting from Hobbs the quilt
guild collects UPC labels from Hobbs packaged batting
and sends in the completed charity order form with five
labels per roll of batting ordered.
