Fabric & Quilting

Quilting cottons, fat quarters and fabric bundles, linen and cotton blends, felt, interfacing and wadding, plus patchwork templates and quilting notions. The building blocks for quilts, cushions, tote bags, bunting and simple garments.

Good to know: pre-wash natural fabrics that may shrink before cutting; check the fibre content and weight (gsm) for the project; cut along the straight grain; and keep a 1/4 inch (about 6 mm) seam allowance consistent for accurate patchwork.

How to choose fabric and quilting supplies

For patchwork, choose quilting-weight cotton of similar weight throughout a project so seams lie flat and the quilt washes evenly. Plan the wadding and backing at the same time as the top fabric.

• Pre-cut bundles make coordinating colours easy; yardage gives you more freedom for borders and backings.
• Cotton wadding gives a flat, traditional finish and softens with washing; polyester wadding is lighter and loftier.
• Bamboo and cotton-blend waddings drape well for throws and baby quilts.
• A rotary cutter, self-healing mat and long acrylic ruler make accurate cutting far quicker than scissors.
