Description
Because quilted fabric brings its own lining, it saves a whole step while sewing. The web measures 140 cm across; its weight comes to 400 g/m². Its composition reads 100 % polyester.
Black/Petrol sits at the dark end and cannot be mistaken for any other tone. Leopard patterns work best on quiet cuts — the plainer the piece, the stronger the print. 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.
What Quilted Fabric Leopard in Black/Petrol is suitable for
- Dog coats, because the fabric keeps warm without being heavy.
- Play mats, as the padding makes them soft and warm.
- Gilets and jackets, because filling and backing are already built in.

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.
Do I need to finish the edges?
Yes, quilting stitches and wadding come loose at the cut edges. It is best to bind the edges with bias or piping tape; that looks neat and holds the layers together. An overlock seam is an alternative.
Which needle do I take?
A strong universal or jeans needle that pierces all layers cleanly. A longer stitch prevents the thick layers from puckering, and a walking foot makes sure the top and bottom layers feed evenly.
