Quilted Fabric by the Yard: Padded Fabrics for Sewing
Quilted fabric brings together two layers of cloth and a soft inner batting, stitched into patterns that add warmth, structure and a finished look to anything you sew. At FabricWarehouse.com you will find an extensive collection of quilted fabric by the yard, from classic diamond stitching to channel quilting and pinsonic textures.
What you can make with quilted fabric
The padded body of quilted fabric holds its shape, so it is a natural choice for jackets, vests and coat linings, tote bags and pouches, playmats and crib quilts, placemats, pot holders and upholstered accents. Lighter quilted cottons drape well for apparel, while heavier quilted knits and satins work hard in home decor.
Choosing the right quilted fabric
Check the face fabric first — cotton, jersey, satin or faux leather — then the loft of the inner padding, which decides how warm and how stiff the finished piece will be. Double-sided quilted fabric needs no lining, while single-faced options pair well with a contrast backing.
