Product Description
Matilda's Own 100% Cotton Quilt Wadding
Pure Australian Bright White Cotton Wadding for Clean, Crisp Quilt Backgrounds. Cut to length in ½ metre increments
This bright white, 100% bleached cotton wadding from Matilda’s Own is ideal for quilts with white or light backgrounds. Made in Australia from premium, seed-free cotton, it’s soft, breathable, and a dream to quilt by hand or machine.
With a fine scrim to prevent bearding and ensure fibre stability, this wadding offers a consistent low-loft finish with excellent stitch definition. Prewashed and preshrunk, it has minimal shrinkage (approx. 2.5%) and is machine washable—perfect for modern and traditional quilts alike.
Whether you’re creating a crisp white wholecloth quilt, a wedding quilt, or a quilt with pale background fabrics, this wadding ensures your whites stay bright and true—no creamy undertones in sight.
Sold in ½ metre increments and cut from a 94" (2.38m) wide roll, this option gives you the flexibility to order exactly what you need. As always, our in-house cuts are shipped plastic-free.
