Product Description
Matilda's Own 70% Cotton, 30% Polyester - Scrim Free Quilt Wadding
A Versatile Cotton-Poly Blend for loft and softness. Cut to length in ½ metre increments
Matilda’s Own 70/30 Cotton Blend Wadding offers the perfect balance of softness, loft, and flexibility, making it an ideal choice for a wide variety of quilting and sewing projects. Made from 70% premium cotton and 30% fine polyester, this blend provides the comfort and drape of cotton with a slightly higher loft and resilience thanks to the polyester content.
With no scrim, resins, sprays, or glues, this needle-punched wadding glides effortlessly under the needle, whether quilting by hand or machine. Its fine, even texture helps prevent bearding and ensures a consistent finish across your quilt. The absence of scrim means there’s no resistance—just a smooth, satisfying stitch through every layer.
This wadding is excellent for projects where a bit of added volume is appreciated, without losing that natural quilt feel. It’s breathable, hypoallergenic, and soft against the skin—ideal for quilts intended for regular use. The neutral natural shade works well beneath a variety of fabric colours and styles.
Sold by the half-metre, this custom-length option gives you flexibility and control—cut exactly what you need for your next quilt, whether you’re working on a throw, wall hanging, or lap quilt. This wadding drapes beautifully and adds a touch of gentle fullness to any quilt.
