What’s the best fabric to use?

There is no right or wrong fabric to use in quilting. It’s all about personal preference and your budget.

Here are some of the most popular choices:

Cotton: 100% Cotton fabrics are the most popular choice for both top and backing fabric. Available in lots of colours and designs, there is usually lots to choose from!

Fleece: Used as a backing fabric for a super warm quilt. Soft and cozy but can be expensive and prone to pilling after washing.

Flannel: Can be used as a top or backing fabric  for a soft and snuggly warm quilt. Less expensive than fleece, but it can shrink and fray along the edges. Popular for quilts for babies and children

Wool:  One of the more expensive fibres to use, but is super warm, and super durable. Suitable for heavy duty quilts, you'll need a high quality thread and a good strong needle!
