Product Description
Matilda's Own 100% Polyester Quilt Wadding - Baby Size (48" x 60")
Matilda’s Own 100% Polyester Quilt Wadding in Baby Size is a lightweight, durable, and versatile option for smaller quilted makes. Measuring 48" x 60" (122 cm x 152 cm), this cut is ideal for cot quilts, lap quilts, small throws, wall hangings, or home décor projects that require a low-maintenance yet resilient filling.
This wadding is crafted in Australia using a unique blend of premium polyester fibres to produce an exceptionally soft finish with a medium loft. It’s needle punched with a fine scrim to help stabilise the fibre, reduce bearding, and support consistent stitch quality—whether quilting by hand or machine.
Polyester wadding is favoured for its strength, washability, and hypoallergenic qualities. This one is prewashed, preshrunk, and machine washable, making it an excellent choice for items that will be laundered frequently or used regularly. It holds its shape well over time and dries quickly, while still offering a soft hand and lovely drape.
With no glues, resins, sprays, or bonding agents, this wadding is clean, safe, and gentle on sensitive skin. It’s particularly well suited to practical projects where longevity and ease of care are key, from high use lap quilts to textile art and more.
