Question 1

Where can I buy modern quilting fabric by the yard?

Accepted Answer

Here: Kitschy Notions cuts modern quilting fabric and quilting cotton to order by the yard. We publish fiber content, width, and weight where we know them, and we'd rather mail you a swatch than let you guess at screen color.

Question 2

What is quilting cotton, and how is it different from apparel cotton?

Accepted Answer

Quilting cotton is a stable, medium-weight plain-weave cotton, usually around 44 to 45 in. wide. It is denser and crisper than apparel cotton like lawn or voile, which is exactly what you want for accurate piecing, and exactly why it reads stiff in a garment meant to drape.

Question 3

How much quilt fabric by the yard do I need?

Accepted Answer

Work from the pattern's cutting chart rather than the finished quilt size, since seam allowances and squaring-up waste add up fast. As a rough sanity check, a throw-size quilt top usually takes four to six yards across all its prints, plus backing and binding on top of that.

Question 4

Do you sell modern quilt fabric collections?

Accepted Answer

We stock coordinated modern quilt fabric collections when a print run suits our color standards, alongside single cuts you can mix yourself. Collections make matching easier. Mixing across them is how a quilt stops looking like a catalog page.

Question 5

Can I use quilting cotton for clothes and bags?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for structured shapes: camp shirts, boxy dresses, aprons, totes, and zip pouches all work. It has very little drape, so soft drape suits lawn, linen, or rayon better.

Question 6

Do you sell quilting rulers and templates too?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but not on this page. Quilting rulers, templates, batting, and basting pins are all on the quilting supplies basket.

Question 7

Do you cut fabric continuously?

Accepted Answer

When inventory allows, multiple yards of the same fabric ship as one continuous cut. Unit and cutting rules are on each product page.
