Frequently Asked Questions
How wide is quilting fabric?
Standard quilting cotton is 42-44 inches wide off the bolt. Wide backing runs 108 inches so you can back a quilt without piecing. A yard of standard-width fabric is 36 x 42-44 inches.
How much yardage do I need for a quilt?
As a rough guide, a throw-size top takes 4-6 yards total across all fabrics, plus about 4 yards of backing and a half yard for binding. Your pattern's fabric requirements are the reliable answer — buy an extra quarter yard of anything you'd hate to run short on.
What does "cut to order" mean?
The shop cuts your yardage from the bolt when you order, in one continuous piece. Order the total length you need at once — two separate 1-yard orders may arrive as two pieces, not one 2-yard cut.
Used one of these in a quilt?
Add it to your stash or tag it in a project so other quilters can see it in action.
