Roc-lon 100% Cotton 108-inch Wide Quilt Backing Fabric — Solid Black, Preshrunk 2.7 m Cut, Lightweight

ROC-lon 100% cotton, 108-inch wide, preshrunk solid black fabric — a lightweight, quilt backing-ready yardage sold in a 3-yard cut for larger sewing and craft projects.

This extra-wide cotton from ROC-lon is made for makers who need broad, stable yardage without piecing multiple widths together. Preshrunk and lightweight, the fabric simplifies backing large quilts, crafting home décor, and cutting long panels for apparel or accessories. Its solid black colour provides a neutral, high-contrast ground for applique, quilting, and sewing projects that require a clean, deep background.

How does this fabric perform as quilt backing?

The 108" width eliminates centre seams on many bed-sized quilts, making quilting and finishing faster and giving a smoother final surface. Because it's preshrunk, the backing better matches the finished dimensions of quilt tops and batting after laundering. The lightweight cotton provides warmth without bulk and accepts quilting stitches cleanly.

• Full-width backing for twin, double, queen and many king quilts without piecing
• Preshrunk to reduce post-sew shrinkage and puckering
• Lightweight body that quilts and washes evenly

What sewing and care practices work best with ROC-lon cotton?

Sew with a sharp universal needle and standard cotton thread for reliable stitch formation. Machine wash on a gentle cold cycle and tumble dry low to preserve colour and hand; cool iron if needed. Use nonchlorine bleach only when required to avoid colour loss.

• Recommended: gentle cold machine wash, tumble dry low, cool iron
• Needle: universal 80/12 or 90/14 depending on layers
• Thread: all-purpose cotton or polyester for quilting and seams

Can this fabric be used beyond quilt backs?

Yes — its width and cotton composition make it versatile for many sewing and craft uses. Use it for duvet liners, curtain panels, tablecloths, garment linings, or large-scale crafts where seamless panels are advantageous. The solid black colour also works well as a wardrobe basic or as a dramatic interior accent.

• Large curtain panels and drapery with minimal seams
• Garment linings, skirts, or lightweight coats that need wide yardage
• Home décor projects like table covers and slipcovers

Who this is for: Makers who regularly work with large-scale projects — quilters, small-batch designers, and home-decor sewists — will value the convenience of 108" width and preshrunk stability. If you need a dependable, solid black, 100% cotton that washes and quilts predictably and reduces piecing time for wide items, this ROC-lon 3-yard cut delivers practical yardage with professional results.
