Description
Because quilted fabric brings its own lining, it saves a whole step while sewing. Weight per square metre comes to 400 g/m², width to 140 cm. It is made from 100 % polyester.
In Black the fabric reads clear and severe. For clothing meant to look matter-of-fact it is the first choice. Pins struggle through the thick layers. Fabric clips on the seam allowance hold better. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut. If unsure, order a little more — a later order may come from a different batch.
What Quilted Fabric in Black is suitable for
- Gilets and jackets, because filling and backing are already built in.
- Cushions and bedspreads, as the quilted fabric brings volume and texture.
- Bags and toiletry bags, as the filling pads them and gives them shape.

Frequently asked questions
How do I wash the fabric?
At 30 degrees on a gentle cycle and with little detergent. Do not tumble dry; let it dry hanging or flat in the air. That way the wadding stays evenly distributed. Bleach is off limits according to the care label.
May I iron the fabric?
No, not according to the care label. Heat flattens the wadding and can make the face fabric shiny. Instead, topstitch the seam allowances close to the seam so they lie flat.
How do I get the seams flat?
Trim the seam allowances, pull the wadding out of the allowance if needed and topstitch the allowance close to the seam. At very thick spots, trimming the layers to different widths helps avoid a ridge.
Is quilted fabric waterproof?
No. The fabric keeps you warm through its filling but is not made for rain, and the quilting seams let water through. For wet weather it belongs as a warm layer beneath a waterproof outer fabric.
