Product Description
Matilda's Own 100% Cotton Scrim Free Quilt Wadding - Baby Size (48" x 60")
Pure Australian Cotton with a Soft, Higher Loft
Matilda's Own 100% Cotton Scrim-Free Wadding is a soft, breathable natural wadding made from premium Australian-grown cotton. This pre-cut baby size measures 48" x 60" (122cm x 152cm), making it ideal for cot quilts, lap quilts, small throws and other smaller quilting projects.
Made with more cotton fibres per square metre than the standard Matilda's Own 100% Cotton Wadding, this scrim-free version has a slightly higher loft and a beautifully soft, natural feel. The additional loft creates greater definition around quilting stitches while retaining the comfortable drape and breathability associated with pure cotton.
Unlike the standard 100% Cotton Wadding, this version contains no scrim. The absence of a supporting layer allows the needle to pass smoothly through the wadding with minimal resistance, making it particularly pleasant to use for both hand and machine quilting.
The cotton fibres are needle-punched to create an even, consistent wadding without the use of resins, sprays, glues or bonding agents. With a recommended maximum quilting distance of 6–8" (15–20cm), it is suitable for a wide variety of quilting designs.
Matilda's Own 100% Cotton Scrim-Free Baby Wadding is an excellent choice when you want the natural breathability of pure cotton with a little more loft and the smooth needling of a scrim-free construction, conveniently pre-cut and ready for your next smaller quilt.
