FAQ

Where can I buy quilt fabric online?
You can buy quilt fabric online from shops that specialize in quilting cottons and clearly describe fiber content, designer, and collection so you know exactly what you’re getting. Look for stores that focus on quality quilting fabric, offer coordinated collections, and provide helpful photos and descriptions to make choosing prints and colors easier from home.

What is the best fabric for a quilt?
The best fabric for most quilts is high-quality quilting cotton: a medium-weight, 100% cotton fabric with a tight weave that cuts cleanly, presses well, and holds up to frequent washing. Quilting cotton resists stretching and warping, comes in a huge range of colors and prints, and is designed specifically for piecing and quilting.

What fabric is good for quilting?
Good fabrics for quilting include quilting cottons, batiks, and other 100% cotton fabrics with a stable weave and consistent thread count. These fabrics are easier to sew accurately, create crisp patchwork, and give you the durability and breathability you want in finished quilts.

How do I tell if quilt fabric is good quality?
High-quality quilt fabric feels smooth but substantial, with a tight weave you can’t easily see through when held up to the light, and minimal fraying at the cut edge. Check that it is labeled 100% cotton quilting fabric, and look for reputable brands or quilt-shop-quality lines known for good colorfastness and low shrinkage.
