Chicplaid Minky Dot Fabric is a single large precut panel of soft 3mm plush fleece, sized about 79 x 94.5 inches (200 x 240 cm), made for quilt backs, baby blankets, and cosy DIY projects.

This roomy, ready-to-use piece of minky dot fleece combines a raised 3D polka-dot texture with a velvety surface that stays soft after washing. Cut to generous proportions so you rarely need to seam pieces together, this green Chicplaid panel suits makers who want luxurious hand-feel, quick sewing, and a reliable material that resists pilling and keeps shape through home laundering.

How big is this fabric and what projects does it fit?

The panel measures approximately 79 x 94.5 inches (200 x 240 cm), large enough to back full-size blankets or create oversized throws without joining multiple pieces. Its size is handy for makers who prefer to cut pattern pieces directly or create single-piece quilt backs.

• Single precut panel: 79 x 94.5 in (200 x 240 cm)
• Great for full blanket backs, baby quilts, and large throws
• Saves time and fabric waste by avoiding seams

What is the texture and pile like for comfort and sewing?

The fabric features a 3 mm pile and a raised polka-dot (minky dot) pattern that gives soft dimension and sensory appeal. It’s plush but manageable under a domestic sewing machine once you adjust needle and foot pressure for plush fabrics.

• 3 mm short pile for a durable, cosy surface
• Minky dot embossing provides tactile, visual interest
• Works well for sensory blankets, linings, and plush toys

How should I care for this fleece to keep it soft?

This Chicplaid minky is polyester-based and holds its softness when maintained properly. Wash gently and dry on low heat to preserve the pile and prevent matting; avoid high-heat cycles or harsh detergents to maintain loft and colour vibrancy.

• Machine wash on gentle cycle
• Tumble dry low or air-dry to retain softness
• Avoid bleach and high-heat ironing directly on pile

Which sewing tools and techniques make working with minky easier?

Use longer pins or clips and a stretch/ballpoint needle to prevent snags; a walking foot and polyester thread help feed the fabric evenly. Cut with sharp rotary blades and stabilise seams where needed to keep edges neat and square.

• Ballpoint/stretch needle and polyester thread
• Walking foot or non-stick presser foot for even feeding
• Clips instead of fine pins, and rotary cutter for clean edges
