Collection: Quilted fabrics

What is a quilted fabric?

A quilted fabric – often also called quilting fabric – consists of several layers permanently joined together by quilting stitches. Typically, a quilted fabric comprises a top layer, warm wadding, and a backing or lining fabric. The quilting secures the layers, creates volume, and gives the fabric its characteristic texture.

Working with quilted fabrics – sewing tips

When sewing quilted fabrics, it's advisable to use clips instead of pins to prevent the layers from shifting. A slightly longer stitch will ensure a neat seam. It's best to test the needle and thread tension beforehand on a scrap of fabric, as quilted fabrics can vary in thickness depending on their construction.

Our quilted fabrics vary in quality, differing in their outer material, padding, and backing. Some varieties contain recycled polyester in the padding, while others combine natural materials like cotton or corduroy with lining fabrics.
